[Sca-cooks] Citron?

[Mairi Ceilidh]

I'll buy a bushel!  I just can't find a source.  I've even looked for trees
so I can grow them (yeah, I know, indoors in the winter), but no FL
nurseries seem to have them, and they can't be sent across this state line.

Tried plumelo (that's how they spelled it here, or are we talking about
another fruit?) for the first time last weekend.  Oh my goodness, was it
good.  So firm and flavorful.  It could become one of my favorites very
quickly.  Ever try to candy it's skin?  Bet it would work well.  ::add that
to the list of things to try::
