Hello everyone,
I’m Ishibashi from Choya Kyoto.
With the hot summer finally behind us, the season is becoming much more pleasant.
Today, I’d like to share an autumn dessert recipe: Baked Apple with Rinshu, our Ume of the Month from Nara Prefecture.
This lightly sweetened baked apple, made with ume syrup, makes for a refreshing finish after meat dishes and more. It’s surprisingly easy to prepare, so I encourage you to give it a try.
【レシピ】（Cooking time: 15 minutes）
- 1 tbsp ume syrup
- 1 infused ume
- 10g butter
- 1/4 apple
1.Slice the apple into 1cm pieces. Remove the pit from the infused ume and chop finely.
2.Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Grill the apple slices on both sides until lightly browned.
3.Plate the apple with the infused ume, then drizzle with Rinshu syrup.
Tip: Sprinkle with cinnamon powder for extra flavor.
Pairing Suggestion: A Shot of Aged Umeshu
For dessert, enjoy a small glass of umeshu straight. Especially with long-aged umeshu, the concentrated sweetness and umami of ume—reminiscent of dried fruit—spread across the palate, offering a rich and elegant finish to the meal.
