Carved Plums: The Moment of Transformation
Using a carving knife to etch intricate🌸 patterns on the plum's surface, like tracing winding veins on jade. Then, immersing them in the gentle embrace of🪄 honey and rock sugar, waiting for the tartness to fade as amber-colored frost gradually coats the plum's textured curves—turns out, it too was waiting for this moment of metamorphosis.

🍯Tips:
🔸 Choose plums at 70% ripeness—their stubborn tartness makes for richer flavor
🔸 Deeper carvings allow more honey to seep in
🔸 The masters at Weixi Garden say patience is the most essential seasoning
