Delicious Fruity Fun

Our dear Strayer asked about candied yuzu peels. Yuzu is an Asian citrus, inherently sour and much beloved in Japan. While the fresh fruit cannot be imported (or advised being eaten as such), there are various products available. I might explore other options for culinary purposes.

The yuzu tree can also be grown in warmer United States climates. Alas, my region is too cold and the soil not acidic enough. Our Jungle Jim’s International Market might have some available but I won’t count on either availability or affordability.

Do you know that Ohio growers can produce much more than apples? Should I attempt some type of citrus?

  1. They look a little creepy. I guess I'm just used to a different sort of fruit.

    1. Especially the southeast. ~nods~ To our ears, we and other locals have a neutral sound but I've been told I sound like I'm from Kentucky. lol

  7. I don't think I would like those. I think Meyer lemons can grow most places, but need to be a patio plant and taken in for the winter. XO
