My secret project can now be revealed! Read on to find out exactly what it is…
Since Brad and I discovered the amazingness of yuzu, we had been thinking about the best possible way to take advantage of the unique flavor inside this intriguing citrus fruit. We toyed with the idea of making yuzu sorbet or ice cream after having it in a restaurant in Tokyo. Then, I thought about making yuzu curd…and am still thinking about it… But then the lightbulb went on and we decided to make limoncello. With yuzu. Aw yeah.
In this post are photos of the first day. I used 12 yuzu and one bottle of vodka. After peeling all of the yuzu with a vegetable peeler and scraping off the white pith, I placed the zest in a glass container that could be sealed tightly. I poured the vodka over the zest, sealed the top, and now we wait for 10 days before the next steps.
I’ll be keeping you all up to date with the whole process with photos and short posts until the final day! Stay tuned to see how it turns out!
Can’t wait to give a great toast with this stuff!
