Japanese Green Plum Liquor Jelly Recipe

Japanese Green Plum Liquor Jelly Recipe

Ingredients: 

¾ cup green plum (ume) liquor

½ cup water

4½ tablespoons sugar

1½ tablespoons gelatin powder

3 tablespoons water

4 plums preserved in green plum liquor

 

Method:

Sprinkle gelatin over 3 tablespoons of water.  Stir quickly and leave to soak for 5 minutes.  Put water and sugar in a saucepan.  Simmer until sugar dissolves, stirring with a wooden spatula.  Mix in green plum liquor.  Place the bowl of gelatin over a bowl of hot water (at 60 - 70°C), and stir until dissolved.  Mix into the sugar mixture, then place the saucepan over a bowl of ice water, stirring until cooled.  Cover the inside of 4 small teacups, or similar containers, with plastic wrap.  Pour the jelly mixture into the cups and add a green plum to each.  Close by twisting the top of the plastic wrap, securing with a rubber band.  Chill for about 1 hour until set.

 

Note:  To avoid the jellies having flatten bottoms, hang them from the racks inside the refrigerator.  To remove the plastic wrap easily, briefly dip the jellies in a little hot water.
