Limequats

Limequats are well suited for both raw and cooking methods and can be consumed whole. When used in cooking methods, the seeds are often removed as they impart a bitter flavor and the fruit can be sliced and added raw to green and fruit salads or used as an edible garnish for main dishes and appetizers. They can also be cooked into marmalades, jams, and jelly or used as a substitute for lemons or key limes. In sweet applications, Limequats can be candied whole, cooked into syrups or glazes, dipped in caramel, or sliced and used as decoration around pies, cakes, and tarts. The juice can also be used to infuse a unique citrus flavor to specialty cocktails, and the fruits can be pickled or preserved to add a salty citrus flavor to fish and chicken dishes. Limequats pair well with meats such as poultry, beef, pork, and fish, avocado, berries, persimmons, lychee, vanilla, and chocolate. The fruits will keep up to one month when stored whole in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
