I'd like to know how that works out.

Came out good not great. As my wife said it was good but it wasn't life changing.
1) DO NOT DOUBLE THE RECIPE UNLESS YOU WANT A TON OF THIS STUFF. When i measured out 2 lb of satsumas it seemed like a small amount so I decided to double the recipe. It made way more than I anticiapted and i didn't have enough jars steralized to jar it all. Filled 5 quart sized jars and 2 pint sized jars and still had leftovers.
2) The receipe has you cook to setting point then add the bourbon and jar immediately. It seems like it would be better if you cooked it a few minutes with the bourbon in it. It seems like rather than enhance the flavor of the satsumas the bourbon competes with it. Of course that could be due to the fact that I used Jim Beam. Didn't want to "wast" the Makers. Should have known better.
3) Continuing with the bourbon issue, the recipe called for 1-2 tablespoons, so of course I figured the more bourbon the better, so use 2 and since I was doubling teh recipe, I put in 4. So maybe I put to much bourbon. (is there such a thing as to much bourbon?)
4) Reaching the setting point is very important and I had difficulty getting there. I had to cover the pot to get the heat up to 220, I just couldn't get there with the pot open.

Either way it was good and we have way more satsumas than we could eat or give away so i figured it was worth a try. The recipe did say it makes a good glaze for chicken or pork so I will probably try using some for that next time I take the cover off the grill or smoker.

If we have an abundant crop again next year, and I'm not sick of this stuff by then, I will probably do it again.

Peel, roughly chop, and mix w/coarsely chopped, pitted black olives (good ones, not the silly canned kind) and thinly sliced red onion. Dress with a good olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, and salt. A tiny pinch of toasted whole cumin seed is optional.

I usually just eat 'em out of hand, often while sitting in the porch swing.

Thanks for the report. I'd bet that would definitely work well in a glaze or even a sauce like the pepper jelly sauce Commander's uses on the Shrimp Henican, for example.

Decided to bake some chicken yesterday. I put some marmalade on when I put the chicken in the oven and then again about 10 minutes before it was done. Very good. I think I found my new use for this. If you do make some I stongly recommend trying it as a glaze.

juice a dozen satsumas. (you need two cups of pure juice, then concentrate down to one cup)

boil down juice by a half

mix six egg yolks, your juice and a can of condensed milk. Put into a graham cracker pie shell bake for 35 minutes at 375.

satsuma pie.

You'll have more in a few years. My bushes are still not huge, but they're loaded. So loaded that the limbs touch the ground due to the weight. I have to figure out what to do about that. I lose fruit that rots touching the ground and it happens suddenly!

Peal and eat.

That's all I'm interested in.

I don't know. It's damn good in a gin and tonic.

John Folse's Satsuma Cane Syrup Pecan Pie

Both my wife and sister have made this before and it's very good. I like it better than regular pecan pie.

The satsuma adds some nice fruitiness and maybe some slight bitterness from the rinds that works well with the sinful sweetness from the base ingredients. It's still a rich dish, just with a nice extra layer of flavor IMHO.

I had to go out to Poydras in St. Bernard, and that is citrus country. Tons of people selling on the side of the road. I got a couple of sacks.

Usually just peel and eat for breakfast and snacks.
I like cooking with them too. I tried them in a fried rice before and that was interesting. Not the same as with mandarins.
