Ugli fruit are easily peeled and may be eaten like a tangerine, or cut in half and
eaten like a grapefruit. The pegs and juice may be used to make many
sumptuous sweet and savory recipes.
How To Enjoy
The fresh flavour of Ugli
is delicious in many recipes, adding a subtle tang to both sweet and
savoury combinations. Being easy to peel, with generous sized segments,
the fruit lends itself to many dishes. It is exceedingly juicy, and has
a flavour that does not need added sugar unless you have a very sweet
tooth. The simplest way to serve Ugli, is to cut
them in half, loosen the segments, and eat with a spoon - this is a
delicious breakfast dish. For lunch or dinner, try sprinkling with
sherry or Kirsch, and serving as a first course, or offer Ugli, as a fruit course for dessert.
Ugli are remarkably juicy, and squeeze easily for refreshing drinks.
A glass of Ugli
juice makes a refreshing, flavourful change to fresh squeezed orange or
grapefruit. The juice is delicious warmed as a hot toddy with rum, and
sweetened with honey or brown sugar, or used to make ice creams and
soufflés. Peel, slice away the pith and cut out the segments to use in
a salad, as a cheesecake topping, or on its own as a dessert drizzled
with sherry or Kirsch. The peel and juice together make marvelous
marmalade.

Ugli fruits can be stored at room temperature for 5 days or in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
