My first poncirus marmalade tastes good.
« on: October 28, 2019, 08:56:26 PM »
My trifoliata trees finally produced enough fruit for me to try making marmalade and it turned out to be surprisingly good! I basically followed the sure-jell recipe but pored off the boiled water from the chopped peels and just added the peels to the fruit pulp/ juice. It ended up being 2.75 cups of pulp/juice and 1.25 cups of water, sure-jell, 5.5 cups of sugar. The final product tastes like a strong yet sweet orange marmalade with no bitterness. There was no resin sticking to my teeth after eating the marmalade either. I just used standard poncirus trifoliata fruit for this batch, not the flying dragon.

If you want to be more natural than sure-jell, you can use Quince fruit, preferably Cydonia oblonga, but others can work too. The fruits are very high in pectin so it doesn't take that much.

Evidently, oranges and apples, Rowan all have pectin and can be jellied without adding pectin by processing the jelly longer and by cooking the fruit with the orange seeds in a cloth bag to get pectin out of the seeds. I’m not afraid to eat sure-jell pectin as I doubt it’s plastic or something poisonous. I can process the fruit in 10 minutes with pectin versus 40 plus minutes without it, and After 5 hours of work I know it will set. But thanks for the tips, Socal2warm.

I have tried to make marmalade from poncirus. Using several recipes from others and online. No matter what I do I get the poncirus aftertaste. The most edible recipe came from a friend....you take the poncirus fruit and put it in a brown paper bag. Toss the bag under the seat of your pick up truck for two months. After several months empty the fruit out and eat the bag........😁😁😁😁😁

I made this a few years ago and poured the water off several times as recommended by the recipe.  Is that what you did?  Never kept the pulp.  How did you separate the pulp from the seeds?

In final product different kinds of citrus skin were added to tone down bitterness and for more flavor.

@Citradia: Wow, that's amazing! I believe that the large proportion of sugar overrides the poncirus taste. I also made a jam with Poncirus fruits about 10 years ago. I only used the pulp, admittedly it was a bit difficult to remove the pulp from the shells and separate the seeds from the pulp. But with some time I succeeded. I had deliberately omitted shells and also tried not to cut through the fruit, but only to cut open the shell in order not to let anything of the unpleasant taste of the shells get into the flesh. I used half pulp and half sugar for the jam. The result: an edible sour jam, but it wasn't really a pleasure.

I peeled only part of each fruit using a potato peeler, only stripping off pretty yellow parts of peel and leaving the dark spotted portion. I used a pearing knife to filet the white pith from the strips of peel, then finely chopped peels. I only ended up with about half a cup of finely chopped peel. I boiled the chopped peel for 20 minutes with 1/8 teaspoon baking soda in 2.5 cups water, then pored off two cups of the water which ended up being all of the water since half cup of water evaporated. Poncirus does have a different taste than other citrus but I like the smell of the fruit and honestly don’t find the distinctive taste offensive, but I don’t like the resin that sticks to my teeth if I try to eat it out of hand. Removing seeds is easily done by cutting the fruit in half and just using the knife to pop the seeds out of the half fruit and put them in a bowl to discard in trash. Then I used a citrus reamer to extract the juice and pulp from each halved fruit. As the reamer filled with pulp, I scoop the pulp into a measuring cup and dumped the juice into a jar. I meant to let the juice sit in the refrigerator for a day to let the poncirus oil to rise to the top so I could discard the oil and have sweeter juice; however, I decided I didn’t have time to wait , do I just added the juice to pulp and boiled and simmered it for 10 minutes, added pectin, then sugar, boiled for a minute, removed from heat, and canned it like any other jam. The marmalade does have what I consider a rosy-like poncirus flavor but not bitter and really is just a strong orange flavor with a subtle rose-like quality, is the best I can describe it.  I’m glad I can actually use the poncirus fruit, and don’t have to strive to keep citranges alive to try to make decent marmalade.

If you are interested, I will post an article from the 30's (written in German language) as a scan for the candying of the poncirus shells from the 30's, which used to be common in northern Europe, it may take some time.

Cindy, I researched several different recipes and didn’t feel right about any one particular recipe, but I ended up taking elements of what I wanted from that eat the weeds one you mentioned, but ultimately used the Sure-jell recipe as the foundational guide. I liked the idea of 5.5 cups sugar to 4 cups fruit better than 4 cups sugar to 4 cups fruit.

lehmung, will2358 and Citradia and all who would like more about the usability of fruits of Poncirus trifoliata (former botanical name: Citrus trifoliata) - here you are:

I was able to find the article I found years ago during my much more active citrus research period. At that time, there were no files, let alone scans and the like, everything was only available as hardware, often only via libraries that were mostly far away, i.e. via interlibrary loan. This is how I came to the following scientific paper about the usability of poncirus fruits.

"Über die Verwertbarkeit der Früchte von Citrus trifoliata. "
Von Dr. Alfred Mehlitz. (Eingegangen am 16. Juli 193), Mitteilung aus der Wissenschaftlichen Abteilung der Versuchsstation fur Obst- und Gemüseverwertug, Geisenheim a. Rh.,
, Seiten 568 - 573)


translated into English language:

"About the usability of fruits of Citrus trifoliata. "
From Dr. Alfred Mehlitz. (Received on 16 July 1931.) Communication from the Scientific Department of the Experimental Station for the Utilization of Fruits and Vegetables, Geisenheim a. Rh., pages 568-573


On the next six postings I will reproduce one of the six pages as a photo (scan) and a more bad than right translation, is certainly better than no translation at all - if you find any mistakes, please let me know (or keep it ;-) )

The page-by-page reproduction helps to make the reference to the original possible, in particular the tables, which are difficult to translate and to which reference is made, can then be understood to some extent even without translation.

Translation into the English language:

(Communication from the Scientific Department of the Experimental Station for the Utilization of Fruits and Vegetables, Geisenheim a. Rh.)

About the usability of fruits of Citrus trifoliata.

From Dr. Alfred Mehlitz. (Received on 16 July 1931.)

The ornamental shrub Citrus trifoliata, which is cultivated because of its rich and beautiful blossom, develops well in climatically favoured regions of South and South-West Germany. At the end of October and beginning of November, the shrub bears a lot of fruits in the shape of small Citrons. Since it is to be expected that in the future the ornamental shrub will acquire more friends who like to plant it, I have carried out studies on the usability of the large number of fruits.
My experiments were based on whole, ripe fruits, which I examined in a similar way to an examination of lemons for the usability of peel, juice and albedo. At first I could observe that the freshly harvested fruits from Citrus trifoliata deliver only very little juice when pressed. If, on the other hand, the fruits were stored for about 14 days, it was possible to obtain about 20 9'6 juice by pressing them on an ordinary household press.

If we now compare the composition of the juice obtained in this way with the composition of the juice of commercial lemons (Citrus [medica] Limonum), we get the following result:

Hello Citradia, thank you for your compliment. But you gave the impulse, so thank you again!

It is astonishing that people have been working intensively on this topic "before our time" as well as on many other topics, which are lying dormant somewhere in archives. That is a pity. Such old works are often not to be found on the Internet.

I think it is also in the sense of such a scientist and author as A. Mehltz, when his work does not get further into oblivion, but finds again interest and attention, and thus once again comes to honour.

Perhaps our scientists, and perhaps also those who read along with us, will be able, with the support of this work, to find further astonishing research on the usability of citrus fruits and make it accessible to those with an interest in it.

Very interesting reading, thank you very much.
I was also inspired by the post of Citradia and tried to prepare poncirus jam.
I found that it is very difficult to extract pectin from albedo and get rid of its bitter taste.
So, I used quince fruit as a source of pectin.
I posted  a short report of it on French forum.

Funny, Google was not sure how to translate poncirus and used a word pest as  approximation ;D

A good article that I enjoyed reading. Thanks for posting it. I have dilligently tried to use poncirus fruit for many years...... I give.....I can not bear the slightest poncirin in jelly, jam, peel or other.....I am doomed to know that there is no good use for poncirus fruit......except as a seed reservoir for more poncirus.

Thanks Ilya11 for posting again about letting the oil settle out of juice in refrigerator over night. It’s been a while since I saw your other post about that,  and I thought the oil rose to the top, but I guess I remembered wrong. I tried letting it settle in refrigerator last year but didn’t notice the dramatic separation that your juice showed. I’ll try again next year if I get fruit.
