Green plum sauce

Introduction:

"The plums are ripe after the Xiaoman solar term, and the big ones are full. It's also a good time to make plum sauce. Plum is rich in organic acids and citric acid, has strong bactericidal effect, can improve gastrointestinal function, help digestion and absorption. Plum sauce can be used as the dip of breakfast cake and steamed bread, and can also be brewed as a drink in hot weather to quench thirst, which is very refreshing. I remember when the plum was ripe every year, my mother would fry the plum sauce and collect it. At that time, there was no refrigerator, and it could not be broken. Now that her mother is nearly 90 years old, she can't let her work any more. She dictates that she has made a green plum sauce, which can be shared by those who are interested in it. "
