Instructions

Wash the yuzu thoroughly and cut each in half to maximize juice extraction.
In a mixing bowl, layer the halved yuzu with rock sugar, stirring gently to combine.
Pack the mixture tightly into two sterilized mason jars, ensuring there are no air pockets.
Seal the jars tightly and store them in a cool, dark place for about seven days, shaking gently every couple of days until the sugar dissolves.
