As fruit grower Ange Pucci has retired, we have been looking for a worthy successor. We found him in Jean-Marc Franza. The oranges still come from Pucci's orchards, but his lemon trees were damaged during the winter and did not set fruit. This is why they are missing this time in the jam, which is otherwise prepared according to Pucci's original recipe. The ripe oranges were boiled down immediately after harvesting and the pectin comes exclusively from their peel and pips.

"Do you know the land where the lemons blossom, where the golden oranges glow in the dark leaves?" So asked Goethe's Mignon, coupled with the longing desire to move there herself. Such a longing seems particularly understandable in winter, when the days in our latitudes are not only short, but also uncomfortably (wet and) cold. Nevertheless, even if it is no substitute for a trip to Mediterranean climes, there is a tried and tested way of bringing the sun to your table - in the form of oranges, lemons, grapefruit, mandarins or clementines or preparations made from them. We have looked around the traditional growing regions of the Mediterranean and put together some citrus fruit preparations that are authentic in every respect, both single-variety and in combinations. To a large extent, they are hand-cooked according to traditional recipes that convey the traditions of the respective country of origin and thus offer an astonishing diversity of flavors in addition to the variety - biodiversity in the very best sense.
