Of yes...we grow our own but don't have a large tree. Also have a lime and key lime trees, 7 pecan trees, a pomegranate tree and a 3 fig trees (one started by my grandfather is a large as a 3 car garage...60 years old.
I pick our citrus and the zest and freeze the zest and all of the juice in ice trays and then you have uniform serving sizes in freezer.
Tangerine sounds awesome!
That looks like a real Eden Garden! 🤩
We have some grapes growing on our house’s side, I collect some whilst it still is green in summer and press it to obtain verjus (« green juice » in old French) which I put in frozen cubes.
Verjus is what was used in the Middle Ages when lemon was not known in some place. Marinate some chicken in it, it definitely has a nice, distinct, flavor.🤓
Sounds beautiful and delicious! I will read up on that as we have friends who have a very abundant grape vine on an Arbor and I want my husband to build us one also. I'm very inspired by theirs!
We also have an olive tree, it's only 6 ft tall but has produced olives for the five years we've had it. My grandfather was at one with the soil and grafted all kind of trees. I would watch him as a child but never asked him to teach me...too young and I thought he would be with us forever. He was a bee keeper also. Back then everyone was more self sufficient and from the comments here looks like most of us are going back to that way of life. I hope so!
