Umeboshi Making Class

Austin Durant from Fermenters Club will teach you how to make Umeboshi from scratch. Umeboshi are traditional Japanese pickled, salt-cured plums. This class will be in two parts. Participants will be able to get the bundle ticket for both parts or choose one class à la carte.

Umeboshi (梅干) are salted Japanese pickled plums. Packed with umami, saltiness, and subtle floral aromas, these little morsels pack a mighty flavorful punch!

In Part 1, we will start with fresh ume (plums) and prepare the jar for a month-long curing.
In Part 2, we will separate the plums from the liquid (umeshu), dry them for a few days before jarring them up again for a longer cure.

Includes your own take-home jar of umeboshi (ready next year) as well as samples of finished umeboshi.
