Yuzu

by Christina Georgina » Tue Oct 27, 2015 10:29 pm

If you don't know it, make your acquaintance. A spectacular small Japanese citrus with an unearthly smell and taste. The Yuzu Kosho I made with last years crop and stored in the freezer is still beautiful. Using it sparingly until this year's crop available from RipeToYou Citrus from California's Central Valley [ moisture providing ]. RipeToYou has a very interesting variety of unusual citrus worth searching out.

OH REALLY. You have my attention. I have an ungodly good marmalade made from Yuzu fruit. And I buy yuzu juice in a bottle from Japanese stores in order to make Ponzu sauces. But I've never had the fruit 'in the flesh', so to speak. Must check out that website.

It is a small, rather knobby fruit with LOTS of seeds [ germinated a dozen and gave small plants as gifts ]. The juice is very scant and fruit fibrous. I can't imagine how many needed for any juice. The nose is ethereal. I can see why they are floated in the bath.
With my stash last year I made : seasoned salt; red and green yuzu kosho; marmelade; seasoned vodka. I didn't let anything go to waste. The kosho, marmelade, vodka and plants were most successful.

Check out the video on Buddha's Hand citron. The only citron I use for candying for breads/Pannetone etc. The commercial stuff always has a disagreeable, chemical taste to me.
