Got a nice harvest from our yuzu trees this year.   What shall I make with it all?

Mmm... Yuzu bars or yuzu shortbread cookies.

That would be my initial vote!

I saw a recipe for a pie that looked interesting.

Btw, is the yuzu tree in the ground or you have a green house for it?
I grow one yuzu from seed this year and plan on grafting to a hardier flying dragon orange later on.
How old is your tree to start producing? Do you have a picture of it?

Pots outside the front door.

They don't do well sheltered.  We tried it and almost lost them.

this is what the trees look like:



Not the most pretty trees, but they are prolific.

Candied peel and marmalade would be tops on my lists. We can go through tons of both over a year.

The Wikipedia listing for Yuza mentions that it is tradition in Korea to do winter baths with the fruit scenting the water. Seems like a nice thing to try!

I'd be tempted to try some variants of the Japanese drinks and sauces as well, if I had lots to experiment with.

I come across this video, it covers everything about yuzu from grafting, caring and fruit uses.
