Happy thanksgiving Mike! (And everyone else) I am thankful for the knowledgeable people in this forum. Hopefully you all have some good citrus dishes as well. (For inspiration) :D

Happy Thanksgiving to you too! And everyone here. Thanks for all the knowledge ya'll share here. I don't have a new tree pic to share, but here's a bowl of Calamondins (I have more..) that we're planning to turn into a calamondin pie for Thanksgiving.

Nice Dave! Happy Thanksgiving to all! I plan to make calamondin marmalade soon!

Happy Thanksgiving Mike and to everyone else too.

Cory

Dave, I like the calamondin photo op...and it's funny your granite looks just like mine! I have a couple of photos in the citrus hard candy discussion.

Yes, everyone do have a great Thanksgiving and be sure and take photos if you make a citrus dish or drink.

FYI for your Thanksgiving drink options, my sister makes a great lemonade using ginger ale as a base. I think she adds one cup lemon juice and maybe a scant cup of sugar for each 1-liter bottle of ginger ale....no added water. It's tart and delish!

It doesn't have any citrus in it but I just finished making date-nut candy. After my hard candy experiment, I was happy the date-nut candy set up as it should.

I'm planning to make a Barefoot Contessa Lemon Cake so I should have photos of that coming along in a day or two.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Just got off the phone with Mike, and he let me know this Thread was up!

I hope you all Feast to your belly's delight. I made my cranberry sauce this morning, and as always I added a couple Owari Satsumas, sliced up, rind and all. It should be delicious by tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving to all !

Here's my pic from tonight...made calamondin marmalade for the first time....I also added a few kumquats bc the calamondins were small. Most were from that sad little tree I rescued...they needed to come off even though some were still a bit green. Vladimir...that recipe is great!! The lump in the middle is a pack of the seeds I boiled it with to provide the pectin (that was JohnM's suggestion). I had to stop my husband bc he was spooning out large quantities from the pot to eat...I kicked him out of the kitchen ;-). Happy Thanksgiving!!

Wishing all you guy's and gal's a very Joyful Thanksgiving !!!!

Brian

Yum! The marmalade looks good. Tell us what you think about the flavor when you sample it. I have made calamondin pies that were good but the jelly I tried was a little strong.

John...

Here's the final product! It has a strong, but vibrant flavor...a bit like Seville orange marmalade, but better. Everyone liked it. I do wonder if it will be a tad bit less bitter with totally orange/ripe calamondins. I also added extra sugar as I went.i have to say it thickened up perfectly. I will definitely make it again. I bought several cheeses for tonight - one has a few cranberries inside. I will put some marmalade over it with crackers...yum! Or you could bake a slice of Brie and put some over that...lots of possibilities ;-)

Laura, I am glad you like it. I like JohnM's pack of seeds idea. Its better than spooning out the seeds while its boiling. Wife, daughter and I find it to be a little bitter but not overly so and I do not add more sugar. My tree refuses to put out enough fruit at one time, so I will be freezing them until I get enough to make a batch.

Happy Thanksgiving to my southern friends , we had ours a while back n wont celebrate American Thanksgiving - as we call it :) - but sure would participate in the shopping spree .

Sure looks good Laura!

Happy Thanksgiving to each and everyone!!!

Josh

The only danger I had had all day is eating too much Vladimir. :)

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I put the calamondin marmalade along with goat cheese and crackers...wow! The flavor is intense and wonderful! I also made lemon bars...the best ones I've made ever. I used two meyers and I have pics...wow...they were absolutely incredible. Oh...I realized I did not take pics of the bars...I will tomorrow. The first lemon was so massive it almost does not look like a Meyer, but it is.

That one lemon gave me 1/2 c of juice! It is from another meyer I have that is young...maybe 4. I only let it grow that one lemon and plucked off all the other little ones this spring. Well, I guess she put all her energy into that one!
