What a great fruit. I just purchased a 4 foot plant on clearance for $10.00 at my local home improvement center. They have plenty more. The store is located in Lakeland, FL.

I am going blind looking for recipes for this delicious fruit.
I have several growing on a tree in a container. I have one that I have been keeping in my fridge and just used some of it for the first time in a shrimp dish that called for lemon juice. All I can say is… WOW!!!
This oddity is soo much better than a regular lemon. I am obcessed with turning it into a lemon curd or lemon pie. So far I have hit dead end on the net. Can anyone help me.
I will gladly reward one of the ripe hands for a kick butt recipe for the above.

I found a buddha’s hand at the San Francisco Ferry Building farmers market and thought I could make a nice infused vodka with it. I searched online and found your page as my inspiration. I just assembled the bottle full of vodka and citron but the only problem is I don’t know if I can wait 30 days!

I have to tell you, I was at my local garden center and saw a dwarf version and bought it! All because I had seen it here first. I can’t wait to get the first fruit. Thanks so much for the post. Any growing tips?

I saw it at Whole Foods just the other day … and almost bought it, but after I had no answer to the husband’s “pray, tell what are you planning to make of it” I kept it back. Now, I can’t wait …

Hey cool! Can we do an infused vodka tasting? I’ll bring my crab apple and Vietnamese cinnamon (yours!) infused vodka!

Wow! What an absolutely incredible fruit! I’ve never seen this before. How interesting too that it has no juice or pulp. I love your idea of putting it in vodka too, its genius!!

Oh! I saw these at Whole Foods the other day and thought “I can’t buy that terribly expensive thing just because it’s cool. I don’t know what to do with it!”

NOW I know what to do with it!!
