   Cut the yuzu in half horizontally and squeeze the juice.

2. 2

   (It's OK to hand squeeze).

3. 3

   Once you're finished squeezing the juice, hollow the peels by discarding the yuzu pith and place the seeds in an empty tea bag.

5. 5

   Juliene the yuzu peel and measure their weight as well.

6. 6

   Put the peel in boiling water, remove, and throw out the water.

7. 7

   Repeat this 4 - 5 times.

8. 8

   Once you have finished, drain the water well.

9. 9

   Add honey, sugar and yuzu juice and let them seep.

11. 11

    These sweetening ingredients are sugar and honey.

12. 12

    Add the seeds from Step 2 to the mixture made in Step 5 (this creates pectin, which acts as a gelling agent).

    Grate the ginger in and boil the mixture down until it becomes syrupy.

14. 14

    Remove the seeds part way through the boiling.
