TOSA BUNTAN
TOSA BUNTAN season has come.
I received a box of TOSA BUNTAN (citrus grandis) from a friend of my mother’s, living in Kochi prefecture. Can you see how big it is? Compare its size with a stapler beside.
In Japan, there are about 40 kinds of Buntan. TOSA BUNTAN is the one that is produced in Kochi prefecture. This is big enough, but there are even bigger kinds.
When I peel it, the refreshing smell of citrus spreads the whole room. Its taste reminds me that spring is coming closer to Kanto area though the ground in Utsunomiya, Tochigi, is still covered with slight snow.
This amount of marmalade was made from just two BUNTAN peels.
I made marmalade from two BUNTAN peels. It took two days to complete marmalade, but this is one of my favorite waiting-for-spring cookings!
