Salted Wild Plum (umeboshi but local, wild plums!)

Wild, foraged plums picked from the Hepburn Springs area and packed down with sea salt for months.  This is a traditional preserve from Japan that I adore - only with local plums and not the larger ones used in Japan. 

Enjoy these on a bowl of rice, in an Onigiri, mashed in a salad dressing or with smashed cucumbers. A cup of green tea and one of these after is good too. These are a great digestive aid. 

Also. Pop one in your mouth when you're a little out of sorts and you'll feel better - think sour lollies. Use for long car rides, for sea sickness, nervous tummy.
