SC - ETROG JELLY

[Seton1355 at aol.com]

Jews have a holiday just like Thanksgiving called *Sukkot*  (Festival of the 
Booths)  Anyway as part of the religious practices they use a fruit called an 
etrog which looks almost exactly like a lemon. When the holiday is over, what 
do you do with the very expensive lemon thingie??  You make Etrog Jelly .. Of 
course!  Here is a recipe I came across.

After Sukkot is over, I may try the marmalade recipe, though it seems awfully 
sweet-sounding to me, if my husband is willing to relinquish the etrog. He 
sometimes uses it with cloves pushed in for havdalah, or just keeps it in a 
desk drawer as a remembrance of a sweet holiday.

Citron   Grapefruit   Orange   Sugar

Use 1 grapefruit and 1 orange to each citron available. Wash and dry the 
fruit. Peel the thin outside skin of the fruit and cut it into think strips. 
Discard all the white pulp,the cores, and the seeds. Cut the fruit into 
coarse pieces, mix it with the strips of rind, and cover them in a kettle 
with three times as much water. Let the fruit stand overnight.

Boil the fruit and juice for 3 minutes, let it again stand overnight, then 
repeat the boiling process and again let it stand overnight. On the third 
day measure the fruit and juice, add an equal amount of sugar, and boil the 
mixture for 1  hour, or until it is thick. Pack and seal the marmalade in 
sterile jars.
