U is for Ugli
The Ugli fruit, now available in most stores, is from Jamaica and is a blend of grapefruit (or pomelo) orange and tangerine. From what I read, it appears to be natural not something created by man unless I am misunderstanding the matter. It was found growing wild and is mainly grown in Jamaica still. The company, Cabel Hall Citrus Limited which exports them, owns the registered trade name Ugli. I have seen these fruit but have never tried one. These days, because I am on a statin, I am not allowed to eat grapefruit which makes me think Ugli would also be on the banned list.
This sounds like a good recipe. In fact there is a website for Ugli fruit which is where I got it from.
Have a great day
