After the Oranado (candied orange peel) has been added to the coffin for the receipt (recipe) To make a Potato Pye add…Cittern.  The word cittern is the spelling used in this receipt for the candied rind of Citrus medica known as citron. Citron is one of the oldest citrus fruits that was cultivated in southern Europe.  It is typically yellow to green in color with a very thick, fragrant peel that was candied.  A melon was named the American citron melon as it was used by European colonists to replace citron in receipts.  In my gally pot is the candied rind of an American citron melon that was added to the coffin.
