Anyone in the Central/Zachary/Denham area have a loaded tree that they would be willing to part with a shite ton of satsumas?

I've had good luck knocking on doors. If you see a tree with them piled up under it the owners are usually happy to let you pick some.

Just curious what you do with them other than eat them straight. Any good recipes or suggestions. I made an old fashioned last week with one that came out pretty good. But I have a Walmart bag or two that I don’t know if the kids will finish off.

I squeeze them for the juice. I am a orange juice fiend. Have been my whole life. Satsuma juice is so much better.

Bought a Jack la lane juicer and couldn’t be happier. That MF is amazing. We put up 5-6 gallons each fall on one small tree and eat the rest in the deer stand.

Yep. I have one tree but it is not enough. I planted another one last year and will be planting more soon.

I’ve made a satsuma marmalade. Pretty damn good on biscuits and toast, google it.

About two segments squeezed into an ounce of tequila + 1oz Grand Marnier with either a twist of lime or rubbing it around the rim is pretty delicious.

About when do you harvest in the BR area. Some of mine look pretty ready, but a lot don't. BTW, new house has a tree, so this is new for me.

they keep well on the tree: the longer you wait the better...i've left some on my tree in BR into Jan and Feb, even thru freezes and they stay fine

Dumb question: does the juice freeze well over the long term? Ice cube trays then zip-top bags?

I only have kumquats but I'm always amazed at how long they will last on the tree if not frozen (i'm 2hr north of BR).
You can start picking them late Oct and still get some in freaking March. Try that with tomatoes!

Yes

You can start picking now.
Never pick until ready to use. They store better on the tree than in your house.
Freeze just fine. That is why I am seeking more. I don't have enough to last for a full year.
Kicking myself for not discovering the juice sooner. I have always liked eating them but you can only eat so many. Wishing I currently had a small grove of these suckers.

if you do have to pick some to keep for a few days, better to snip the stem and leave the skin completely intact versus just pulling off the tree and breaking the skin around the stem...they last longer off the tree if the skin is not broken

We had a friend give us a couple jars a while back. We were some biscuit eating fools til it was gone. Posted on 11/9/22 at 12:27 pm to omegaman66
My wife makes Satsuma Jam and Sastuma Pepper jelly. Damn good.
