Thanks for dropping by. <BR/>It's no surprise that you crave for refreshing sourness as the weather gets hot. I hope it's not terribly humid over there ... like it is here right now.obachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146311760014752971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421337.post-54304586900520050352007-07-11T19:45:00.000+09:002007-07-11T19:45:00.000+09:00Obachan - I don't know why but I have a craving fo...Obachan - I don't know why but I have a craving for umeboshi these days (and I'm not pregnant :)) Your pictures are gorgeous, the jam must taste absolutely delicious (and a handy thing to have!).

I guess it's better to stay on the safe side and remove harshness completely when you try this for the first time. Looks like those who have been eating green ume jam for years get used to and enjoy slight harshness and sourness, but not beginners (like me).obachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146311760014752971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421337.post-21517401878840779702007-07-08T00:54:00.000+09:002007-07-08T00:54:00.000+09:00Thank you.
