General information about sugar-preserved plum
Plum is a stone fruit, the same family as apricots and peaches. Plums can be eaten directly or used in many recipes, especially in making juices. In Vietnam, plum is grown in Southern provinces, including Moc Chau, Son La, etc.
Sugar-preserved plum is a great combination of sugar and plums, making a special drink base. Several beverages can be made from sugar-preserved plum. When mixed with tea, it can be a refreshing drink, especially on hot days.
How to make sugar-preserved plum
The main ingredients to make sugar preserved plums are fresh plums, sugar, and a little salt. Plums are selected from famous growing regions in Vietnam, ensuring quality and verified origin. The chosen fruits must be fresh and medium-ripe to get a good taste.
Step 1: Preprocess
Firstly, you must remove the stalks and leaves of the plums. To clean the plums and remove all the toxins on the outside, soak them in dilute salt water for about 15-20 minutes. You can also soak them in lime water to make plums crispy.
After that, wash the plums again with water, then drain. You can either keep the whole plums or split them in half to remove seeds.
Step 2: Soak plums with sugar
Prepare a clean and dry glass jar. Then, put a layer of sugar and a layer of plums alternately until all materials are used. The last layer on the top of the jar must be sugar. Then, close the lid to let the plums absorb the sugar and release the water.
Depending on your taste, you can adjust the amount of sugar to get your favorite flavor. If you are a sweet tooth, you can add more sugar, but make sure to keep the taste of plums.
Step 3: Preserve
In this last step, you should put the jar in the fridge or a cool, dry place. After 1-2 days, when the sugar has melted and the plums have completely soaked in the sugar, it is ready to use.
Sugar preserved plum has a beautiful red color with a sour and sweet taste. The plums become crispy and crunchy, delicious to eat. This intense and rich sweet flavor can be used to make several great drinks.
