Etrog Jam

YOU CAN TRY THIS RECIPE WHICH I FOUND FOR YOU

1. Soak the Esrog for 1 week in water, changing the water daily
2. Slice unpeeled Esrog very thinly, and remove seeds
3. Boil in water, change water, and repeat twice more
4. Add:
   • 4 cups quince apples peeled and cut up
   • 1 lemon thinly sliced
   • 2 lbs. sugar
   • Water, just enough to cover fruit
   • optionally add 5 or 6 whole cloves
5. Cook for about 2 hours until it becomes a clear syrup.
6. Store in a covered jar for a few weeks.

As an added bonus, you can let it “jellify” (or age) until Tu B’shvat, where it becomes an unusual fruit marmalade to celebrate with.
