Review: This citron is different: it is actually soft and delicious. Just buy it. - Very very nice. When I decided to make a fruitcake this year for the first time in 20 years, I discovered that it’s become very difficult to find the essential candied fruits that are only used in fruitcakes. I tried three stores, and only found the cherries, and, in one case, a “fruitcake mix”. If you are reading this, I need speak no farther of the nastiness of that cra- ‘stuff’. I managed to make my own lemon and orange peel, but was stumped at citron. At first, I considered leaving it out, as my recollection of it was that adding it added nothing but an hazard to teeth. However, my sister reproached me, and so off the desertcart. I am glad I did. This is very different than the hard little chunks you get in the grocery store round tubs. It is soft, a delicate green, and flavorful. Now I wish I ‘d gotten all my fruits this way and will absolutely do so in the future. In fact, I am already planning on hot cross buns so as to use the balance of this citron while fresh. I do not think you should plan on saving what you don’t use in your fruitcake “for next year” or even “sometime”. What makes this delicious is the gentle processing and lack of whatever makes the roundtub stuff capable of outlasting the millennium. For the few dollars extra you’re spending on the cost of a fruitcake these days (!), I would simply plan on using desertcart to quickly deliver a fresh batch next time rather than trying to save this and losing what makes it special in the process.
Review: No more supermarket citron - What a revelation. The supermarket type of citron has about as much to do with this fresh citron as hot dogs do with steak. This citron is flavorful and soft, not bland and rubbery as is the prepackaged kind. I’ve ordered it three times over the last two years and have not been disappointed. It’s well packaged and shipped promptly. I also froze some leftover citron last year and it held up very well. The really dramatic proof for me was when I didn’t have enough of this citron in the middle of a baking frenzy and had to supplement with the supermarket kind. I’ll never do that again! It’s rather pricey, but if you care about the quality of your finished product, it’s worth every penny.

**Q: should this be kept in the refrigerator? can it be frozen ? is it shelf stable?**
A: We purchased the Citron in November to make mince meat pie. We had leftover and refrigerated it for a couple of months until my wife used the remainder to make cookies. I suspect you can freeze it as well. I thought it best to refrigerate it as opposed to leaving it in a cupboard.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best we’ve tried! And we’ve tried many!
*by C***E on November 29, 2023*

We taste tested these against 3 other citron purchased this year. This was much more flavorful than the rest. All had a similar texture but this had that burst of flavor you want it to have to bring out the flavor in your recipes. We had a hard time finding this ingredient this year for our annual preparation of our family recipe of German stollen(made every year for generations) So we ordered 4 kinds not knowing if any would arrive on time. We ended up getting them all in time so did a taste test. This one tasted the best and is likely part of the reason this years loaves taste so amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
