Has anyone used the buddha's hand fruit?

karykat | Dec 31, 2007 11:33 AM

Our coop just started carrying what they call "Buddha's hand." It looks like a yellow hand or maybe more like an octopus with yellow tentacles. If you scratch it just a bit it's very fragrant. Supposed to be a source for homemade citron. Our coop started stocking them right before the holidays as something exotic. They are fairly large but also very expensive. (About $19 for one.) It would probably make sense to share one of these with someone or use them for gifts.

Has anyone used these at all? What are good uses for citron that are not too sweet?
