Citron [Etrog/Esrog] Jam/Jelly - pareve

Posted by : Yitzy

Here is a recipe for making a jam from your Esrogim (citrons).  It comes
from "The Heimishe Kitchen" cookbook.

Soak the Esrog for 1 week in water, changing the water daily.
Slice unpeeled Esrog very thinly, and remove seeds.
Boil in water, change water, and repeat twice more.
Add:
    4 cups quince apples peeled and cut up
    1 lemon thinly sliced
    2 lbs sugar
    water just enough to cover fruit
    optionally add 5 or 6 whole cloves

Cook for about 2 hours until it becomes a clear syrup.
Store in a covered jar for a few weeks.

As an added bonus, you can let it "jellify" (or age) 
until Tu B'shvat, where it becomes an unusual fruit 
marmalade to celebrate with.
