Some of our yuzu made it into a glass this month, and what a glass. Dale, the brewer at the Horseshoe Taproom here in the Wairarapa, took a crate of our fruit and turned it into a yuzu lemonade: bright, sharp, a little floral, and gone almost before we could photograph it.

There's something particular about watching fruit you've grown by hand end up in someone else's hands, made into something new. That's the whole idea behind Good Hands, really — the orchard is just the start of the journey.

Thank you, Dale and the Horseshoe crew, for a fabulous night. We suspect it won't be the last.

Most of a citrus fruit's fragrance and much of its fibre live in the skin — which is exactly why we slice and dry the whole fruit rather than throwing the peel away.

General good sense, not a health claim: eat a variety of whole foods, and enjoy your citrus skin and all.
