That is good to know. With my meyer lemon tree I also bought a calamondin tree and it has a crazy amount of fruit growing on it right now (easily 100+). When they turn ripe, I might try to preserve some calamondins. And when the tree is in full-bloom, it smells amazing.

Good luck with the harvest...and look toward south east asian or Filipino recipes more specifically for inspiration....just remember they call it KALAMANSI when doing your research. I will see if I have anything interesting in my bag of tricks that I can forward you

Thanks a lot. I have no idea how long until the fruit ripens, but will send a reminder when it gets close.

Btw, my green peppercorn mustard came in yesterday. It is oh so good. The wife made me cook up some sausage just so she could eat more, and then we had some sauerkraut bread to go along with it.

So I've seen a couple mentions of sumac in this thread. I just realized that I have Staghorn Sumac growing all over the place around me. So far I've seen mention of making "Indian Lemonade" (sumac tea). I'm figuring it would be better used as a spice after being dried. Anybody want some?
