I had some left over yuzu, so I removed (a lot) of seeds, sliced it thinly, and mixed it with an equal amount of honey and sugar by weight (mixed with 50% honey, put it in a steralized jar, and then topped with 50% sugar). This’ll turn syrupy and slightly ferment. It’s usually mixed with hot water as a tea, but it can be used for other things.

Edit: After reading what I wrote it seems like it could be confusing. For 200g of yuzu you’d use 100g of honey and 100g of sugar.

    Hmmmm.

    Makes me think of candied lemon peel. Oh this gives me ideas. How long do you let it ferment? How lemon-y is yuzu?

    Besides tea, what do you use it for?

    Have you tried candied yuzu (or candied yuzu peels)?

        . It turns out very much like marmalade, so you can even put it on toast.

        that… yeah. I think I’m gonna have to stop by the local korean market. (again, lol.) thanks for sharing.

    This sounds great! Unfortunately, I’ve never seen a yuzu at the grocery store and there are no Asian markets near me. I’ll definitely be looking for them though!
