Homemade UME SHU - 4 years in the making.
Beautiful taste.
Home grown Avocado. It last so much longer than the store bought Avocado.
This is not the best thing to do, but just to prove that Tajin with lime flakes can really preserver the half cut avocado wrapped in plastic for a few days without turning dark. (This one is sadly 1 week old - no, I didn't eat it.)
Even though the skin looks quite shrivelled, the home grown avocado's meat is fresh.
Home grown Limes left on the tree to use as needed turns yellow by late winter. To save them, make zest, then, squeeze them into ice cube tray. Make simple syrup (water + sugar), then, drop 4 or 5 cubes into the cup to make Limeaid.
Thank goodness for the pressure cooker. A time saver.
Steam in Chinese stainless steel steamer for an hour and half. Rotating the trays at 35 min interval.
Time for delivery!
