The easiest way to pickle green plums

1. First, select the green plums you have picked, remove those that have been bitten by insects and are small in size, and keep those that are about 2-3 cm in diameter and are 60% to 70% mature. Add a large amount of coarse salt to the green plums, and rub them vigorously with your hands for 15 minutes to deepen the color of the green plums. This will destroy the surface of the green plums and remove the sour taste of the green plums.

2. Use a kitchen knife to knock out the stems of the plums, which will help the green plums absorb the flavor. Then put the green plums into a clean, sterilized jar, add appropriate amount of salt, cover the lid, and marinate for at least eight hours. After that, pour out the marinating water in the jar, put the jar under the faucet, turn on the faucet, and rinse the plums with the smallest water flow for about 4-8 hours.

3. Take out the plums and drain them, add some sugar, stir well, pour back into the jar, and put it in the refrigerator for one day. During this period, turn the plums several times so that each plum can be evenly coated with sugar. The next day, pour out the sugar water, add some sugar, and repeat this step.
