    Thank you for the video! I am a Christian and learning about Feast of Tabernacles. This is an important fruit. Now I know why.

    Thank you for a wonderfully informative video. I received some Citron fruits for free from someone in my town and I thought they were picked too early because they were green and they tasted sour, so I made "lemonade" with them. Now after watching your video I realize that the sour taste is normal whether he left them on the tree longer or not, but the citronade was great!

    Thank you so very much for your information on citron! I'd love to know where to buy a glazed piece now! In the 1940's to 60's my mother made an incredible fruitcake every December. She would drive 60 miles to San Francisco and purchase one or two halves of candied, firm, citron, longer than and as wide as my adult hand, with color from pale green on the inside to a medium avocado green outside. She also purchased whole candied big cherries, and halves of candied oranges, apricots and lemons. She would cut the candied fruit into 2-3 inch pieces and submerge them in a vat of brandy for a month. Then she made a binding dough of brown sugar, eggs, flour, ginger, allspice, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and soda. (I got this dough recipe from a 1949 cookbook of hers.) This dough acted just like darkened "lead" connecting and binding the fruit together. It was decorated on top with paper thin slices of the fruit cut to look like flowers. It was baked for hours at a very low oven, and when thinly sliced, really looked like stained glass, unlike anything I've seen. It was rich in complex flavors and so delicious. I haven't located any nearby shops that carry glazed fruit like what she used to purchase in S.F. Those little plastic jars of mixed candied fruit that you see in the local grocery stores don't hold a candle to the glazed fruits in her fruitcake!

    'Etrog' is not a citron variety but the name of the fruit in Hebrew and there are many cultivars of this fruit here lol.. we use them in sukkot holiday for ritual stuff and use them for perfume, alcohol, peel jam and the seeds are used as a spice after being dried..

  • @velindasimpson2211
    @velindasimpson2211 Год назад

    I found a new product at my local Costco called "honey citron and ginger tea. It was in a warehouse sized jar. I like ginger, so I took a chance. I found it to be delicious because of the ample honey. It made a great tea, but I will probably eat it as a marmalade. It all but asked me for an English muffin. Thanks for the explanation. I never heard of a citron here in the Midwest, but I'm sure I say the "giant lemon" in an Ethnic speciality market that I look for new things to try.
    Thanks Shamrock Girl!

    I'm pretty sure that we have wild (volunteer) citrons growing here'd in middle Tennessee. They are green, round to oval, and about the sized of a small grapefruit. (Some of those characteristics may have to do with the fact that it is getting colder here, so they may be immature, but dropping from the trees.). I noticed the fragrance of the peel, and the other characteristics described when I brought one home and sliced it in two. I'm hoping that I'm correct, because there are a lot of them around here and are FREE for the picking!! LOL

      It's eaten while green in Bengali cuisine. Locally known as Jara Lebu /Jara lembu/ shashni jamir. Slice it into thin crescent slices. Best way to explain.. Think of a pickled onion on your fish and chips, it's not the main part of your meal rather something that accompanies your dish. More of an acquired taste id say but when you like it, you'll love it

    I literally didn't know what a Citron was at the start of the video. But by the time I was halfway through this video I was confident enough to assume you were probably mistaken about the rind not being edible. 1:11 So I just googled and sure enough, citron rind is perfectly edible. Lots of info on people eating it. No wonder my mouth was watering.
    This is like a person who hates lemons doing a video on lemons, asserting that lemons are "inedible", lol.
    _"I mean, like, I tried one and it really really sucked. So I hereby declare lemons to be inedible."_

    • @ViralTuber
      @ViralTuber 3 года назад

      BTW I'll munch everything but the seeds and the little wooden stem tip on the end of a lemon. The rind is delicious, especially when permeated with some lemon juice for more flavor, and salted. Some might prefer using sugar with, or instead of, salt.
