Hassaku Orange ハッサク（八朔）

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

I found Chinese quince fruits scattered on the ground, brought two back home and made jam from them ten days ago. My next target now is these hassaku oranges. 

The hassaku orange is a Japanese citrus hybrid between pomelo and mandarin, with pomelo-like characteristics (Source: Wikipedia). Marmalade made from hassaku is so tasty, but there's one problem. Peels of hassaku oranges at grocery stores should contain pesticide. I used to wash them by brush or remove a thin outer layer of the peel but as the outer layer is so orange, I want to use the fruit whole without throwing away any of it. So now, you see why and how badly I want these pesticide-free oranges! 

The tree grows in a public space and it's not so busy there but I'm pretty sure that neighbors like me want to have some of these, too for the same reason as mine. From today on, I need to be vigilant, going there as often as possible to pick them up as soon as they fall to the ground😆!

先日、落ちていた花梨を持って帰ってジャムを作りました。そこで次はこれ。はっさくです。マーマレードを作りたいのです。はっさくは八百屋さんでも買えますが、皮には農薬がいっぱい。でもこの八朔は無農薬。丸ごとマーマレードが作れます♬

木の生えている場所は私有地ではなさそう。人通りも少ない。でも、私みたいなジャム好きが絶対狙ってるはず。明日からは大変です。落ちたらすぐに拾って持って帰らなくっちゃ😆！
