Ume Jam and Ume Syrup 2014/梅ジャムと梅シロップ、2014年 #53137
Yesterday, we got a little over 6 kg of ao ume (unripe Japanese apricots) from my father, who lives in Chiba prefecture. 昨日ã¯、åƒè‘‰ã«ä½ã‚€çˆ¶ã‹ã‚‰é’梅を６ã‚ãƒã¡ã‚‡ã£ã¨ã‚‚らã„ã¾ã—ãŸ。
My wife and I discussed and decided to make ume jam and ume syrup again this year.
妻ã¨ç›¸è«‡ã—ã¦、今年も梅ジャムã¨æ¢…ã‚·ãƒãƒƒãƒ—を作るã“ã¨ã«ã—ã¾ã—ãŸ。
Removing the heta from each and every one of the ume is both time-consuming and tiring.
梅一個一個ã®ã¸ãŸã‚’å–ã‚‹ã®ã¯、時間ãŒã‹ã‹ã‚‹ã—、疲れã¾ã™。
But I did it in less than 20 minutes.
ãã‚Œã§ã‚‚20分ã‹ã‹ã‚‰ãšã§ãã¾ã—ãŸ。
To make ume syrup, I used blemish-free ones (left). The ones on the bottom are slightly rotten, so I had to dispose of them.

The ones in the right bowl were for making ume jam. I soaked them in a pot full of water.

I'm going to soak them in water for a whole day, with several changes of water.

Ume syrup making.
梅シãƒãƒƒãƒ—作り。
The ume for making ume syrup were more than 3 kg, so I thought I would use 3 kg of sugar.
梅シãƒãƒƒãƒ—用ã®æ¢…ã¯3 kg以上ã‚ã£ãŸã®ã§、ç ‚ç³–ã‚’3 kg使ãŠã†ã¨æ€ã„ã¾ã—ãŸ。
My wife and daughter watched me making ume syrup. My wife was surprised at the amount of sugar I was going to use. I ended up using 2 kg of sugar for 3 kg of ume.
妻ã¨å¨˜ãŒ、ç§ãŒæ¢…ã‚·ãƒãƒƒãƒ—を作ã£ã¦ã„ã‚‹ã¨ã“ã‚も見ã¦ã„ã¾ã—ãŸ。妻ã¯、ç§ãŒä½¿ãŠã†ã¨ã—ã¦ã„ã‚‹ç ‚ç³–ã®é‡ã«é©šãã¾ã—ãŸ。çµå±€、3 kgã®æ¢…ã«å¯¾ã—ã¦ç ‚ç³–ã‚’2 kg使ã„ã¾ã—ãŸ。 
If I see any signs of the ume going bad, I have to add some more sugar immediately.
