I am swimming in calamondins. (small, citrus fruit, extremely sour). Thoughts on usage? (have thrown them in my tea before. I guess in Hawaii used a lot to squeeze over papayas. PITA to remove the peel to candy it... anyway). #recipes #food #calamondins #citrus

@seedlingsong Oooh, chutney!
@ai6yr you can make preserves and can them
Can't you just freeze them whole? I've seen done with kumquats.
@michael_w_busch Yeah, then I will have a freezer full of calamondins I have to figure out what to do with 🤪
@ai6yr Jam or preserve them? Pickle them?
@ai6yr Juice them, make lemonade?
We recently got a juicer and it's remarkable how efficient it can be at removing solid material with low effort. I managed to work through 20 lb of apples (for cider) in about an hour.
@ai6yr if they’re reasonably juiceable or aren’t bitter when pulverized in a food processor or blender, I will note that the sour can be dealt with by adding small amounts of baking soda. Especially useful if you’re going to use the liquid in, say, pastry cream (by itself or to make frosting) or other confectionery.
@wordshaper Not bitter at all
@ai6yr there’s also Brazilian lemonade, which tends to mitigate the sour a little in its making. (Or, again, add a touch of baking soda for both acid control and a bit of fizz)
@wordshaper Oooh, I will have to look up Brazilian lemonade.
When a problem comes along, you must jam it
Before the scone sets out too long, you must jam it
When something's going wrong, you must jam it
Jam it jam it good.
I like sour to be honest but a marmalade is a good use depending on how much you have. I have had it before and its good
