I actually quite like this fruit. I just pick it off the tree and chill it for a bit then slice it into wedges and eat it like an orange . It's got a very nice tangy taste to it. It's not acidic enough to substitute for lemons in my opnion.

Yes, I agree, it is not a lemon replacement. It is a very nice fruit for eating straight off the tree though. Yum

Does anyone have a recipe for Lemonade Fruit Jam? The only one on Google is for a marmalade that uses the skin only and discards the flesh, which in my opinion is the best part. I have hundreds on the tree, and none of the friends I have given them to like to eat them fresh.

Lemonade Marmalade

I make a good lemonade marmalade but it needs a lot of pectin to set as it is not as acidic as other citrus. So I use the seeds of the fruit, and any other seeds of citrus I have saved up (and frozen).
The recipe which I use is based on one for Fine Lime Shred Marmalade, in a book (yes, a book!) I have, called The Complete Book of Preserves and Pickles, Jams, Jellies, Chutneys and relishes, by Catherine Atkinson and Maggie Mayhew, published by Arness Publishing 2003. The final recipe I use uses seeds, juice, pulp and skin. Like you I won't waste anything.
NOTE: My lemonades don

Another use for lemonade fruit. I add the juice to rum with soda water. Lovely in summer. Or winter.

Lemonade butter is a great idea, better fertilise my tree then.

It would be good if we can come up with 101 ways to use the lemonade lemon.

I've been told yes, true to type but without opening the seed and or grow it and see multiple seedlings, I can't confirm 100%.

There are only very few citrus that is not true to type, so in general, it's yes until otherwise informed.

I've planted 6 seeds from my tree, all six singles, now all around 5cm. So I'd say yes.
