櫻桃李 (Cherry Plum) 是般若禪林以及附近常見的野生果樹，歐洲李子的祖先，大小如櫻桃，味如李子，有青、黃、紅等色。黃的甚甜，紅的較酸，早夏成熟。近日我們隨意就摘取了幾百顆。試著將酸的用Q梅的方式醃製（用有機紅糖)，味道很像！故取名為「醃李梅」。

The Cherry Plum is a common wild fruit tree found at Prajna Forest Monastery and in its vicinity. It is an ancestor of European plums. Its size is like a cherry, and tastes like a plum, and comes in various colors from yellow to red. The yellow ones are quite sweet, while the red ones are more sour. They ripen in early summer; we recently picked hundreds of them on our property. We tried pickling the sour ones in the style of Chinese Q-mei (with organic brown sugar), and the taste is remarkably similar! Volunteers got to have a first taste.
