UGLIŽ is the registered trade mark under which Cabel Hall Citrus Ltd. markets its brand of Tangelos grown in Jamaica.
This Tangelo is a variety of citrus fruit grown exclusively in Jamaica. It was discovered growing wild in Jamaica over 70 years ago and has been developed by the family of the owners of Trout Hall Ltd. into the commercial variety now in production in Jamaica. Its parentage combines the best characteristics of the Tangerine, Grapefruit and Seville Orange.
UGLIŽ Tangelos are easy to peel and may be eaten like a Tangerine, or they may be cut in half and eaten like a Grapefruit.
The fresh flavor of UGLIŽ Tangelos is delicious in many recipes, adding a subtle tang to both sweet and savory combinations. Being easy to peel, with generous sized segments, the UGLIŽ Tangelo lends itself to many dishes. It is exceedingly juicy, and has a flavor that does not need added sugar unless you have a very sweet tooth.
UGLIŽ Tangelos come in a variety of sizes, usually varying in diameter from 4 inches (10cm) to 6 inches (15cm). The simplest way to serve UGLIŽ Tangelos, is to halve it by cutting across, loosen the segments, and eat with a spoon - this is a delicious breakfast dish. For lunch or dinner, offer UGLIŽ Tangelos as a fruit course for dessert.
UGLIŽ Tangelos are remarkably juicy, and squeeze easily for deliciously refreshing drinks. A hot toddy of warmed UGLIŽ Tangelo juice and rum, sweetened with honey or brown sugar if you prefer, is highly restorative on a cold winters day. UGLIŽ Tangelo can also be used for many traditional recipes such as marmalade, fruit curd, toppings for cheesecake or added to fruit salad.
UGLIŽ Tangelos come in all sizes and many varieties of color from green to greenish-yellow, to yellow, and some even orange! Inside is always orange to deep orange in color, and although the early season fruit in December and January is slightly tangier than the later season fruit, they are all sweet and juicy!
