4. Buddha’s Hand Citron
Looking like a hand with several fingers, the Buddha’s Hand Citron is among the most strikingly beautiful fruits on earth. This old citrus cultivar generates a jam with remarkable fragrant qualities and a strong, sophisticated taste character. Perfect for preservation, the fruit’s thick rind is loaded in natural pectin and essential oils. Made into jam the Buddha’s Hand produces a golden-hued preserve with strong citrus aromas and subdued floral undertones. To retain the delicate aromatics, the jam-making procedure entails precisely separating the fragrant zest from the pith and calls for particular temperature control. The final preserve presents a palate-evolving mix of sweet, tangy, and bitter tastes.
