It is often a sacrificial offering at temple altars. The fruit is commonly depicted on ancient Chinese jade and ivory carvings, lacquered wood panels and prints.The Japanese also revere the Buddha’s hand and is a symbol of good fortune. The fruit is a popular gift at New Year’s and is called “bushkan.” The fruit is placed on top of special rice cakes or used in the home’s tokonoma, a decorative alcove. <img src="https://i.imgur.com/lz0zURk.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Buddha's Hand contains no pulp or juice and is used for its fragrant zest. Use Buddha's Hand to infuse light spirits such as vodka, or to flavor sugars and salts for use in other recipes. Substitute Buddha's Hand in any recipe calling for standard lemon zest for an extra zing and unique flavor. Slice into strips and candy the peel in simple syrup, then chop and use in cakes and cookies, sweet breads, ice-cream, mousse, and cream fillings. Use Buddha's Hand zest in salad dressings, on pasta, in compound butters, marinades, or tossed with root vegetables before roasting. [MEDIA=youtube]7WqqO1Zs-zc[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
