Has anyone ever made poncyrus marmalade? The lady I got my trees from said some local mountain folks make it.

I found this:

I've not tried it myself. That generally resembles most marmalade recipes, although there is considerable variation. (such as: http://foodinjars.com/2012/01/small-batch-blood-orange-marmalade/)

I've poked around w/ an orange gin recipe in the past. I'm really curious how poncirus works with that, especially when the marmalade recipes keep commenting that rubbing alcohol removes the resinous film poncirus leaves behind. I'm curious if the ethanol in gin also breaks down poncirin.

Sounds good. Thanks for the references.

It is edible if you are into mortification of the flesh or are a heavy smoker with numbed out taste buds. Most peaple would consider it inedible what little pulp there is among all those sees. I wonder what the glue-like substance you can't get off of your hands without lacquer thinner after handling the pulp would do to your stomach?

trifoliate orange marmalade recipe
100 pounds sugar
5 gallons of water
juice of one trifoliate fruit
rind of one trifoliate fruit
Boil until jelly coats the back of a spoon.
Put in jelly jars and store in a place you will forget
about them. Keeps indefinately

Rubbing aldohol will remove the trifoliata gum off your finger and hands.

I made jam from chinese lanterns. Anything's possible after that.
