A traditional plum syrup with deep, luxurious flavor achieved by layering plums and sugar in a 1:1 ratio, enhanced with jujubes as a secret ingredient.

Ingredients needed 50 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Avoid plastic containers due to explosion risk from fermentation gases. Always use glass jars and never seal the lid tightly—leave it slightly ajar to allow gas escape.
  • Adding jujubes enhances a subtle aroma and natural sweetness, balancing the artificial sweetness of sugar and creating a refined, elegant flavor.
  • After one year, the sucrose (disaccharide) in the syrup breaks down into glucose (monosaccharide), making it safe and suitable for moderate consumption.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a deeper, more sophisticated flavor in their annual plum syrup instead of the ordinary version.
  • Home cooks who want to follow the original method step-by-step and make it themselves.
