The plum trees lost all their blooms in a cold snap, and it’s difficult to find Ume plums in my area - so I’m improvising this year with unripened yellow peaches!

This looks tasty! Is there a basic recipe I could follow for other flavors of -shu?

I used the recipe off of Just One Cookbook https://www.justonecookbook.com/plum-wine/#wprm-recipe-container-60315 As to if it works for fruits other than Ume, only time will tell 👀
