Juice freezes okay, but it is never quite as good as fresh. Kinda flat tasting, esp after a while in the freezer.

I’ve been making satsuma posset, a riff on the English classic lemon posset. It’s a fat & calorie bomb, but dead easy to make. It’s an eggless, cornstarch-less pudding:
—2 cups heavy cream
—2/3 cup sugar
—5-6 tablespoons satsuma juice
Put sugar & cream in a saucepan; bring to boil, simmer for 5 minutes, stirring to make sure sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, stir in satsuma juice. Wait about 10 minutes (it will thicken slightly) then pour/spoon into ramekins, dessert dishes, old yogurt cups, or other small containers. 1/2 cup or smaller is best, as this stuff is RICH.

Very nice served w/a shortbread cookie, cup of tea, or after a seafood meal. An 8 year old can make this w/minimal supervision.

ETA: when I was a kid, we used to make (terrible, sweet) satsuma wine. It was good for cooking wild game....and back then, for popping the corks when it over-fermented. Haven’t thought of that in years. I made satsuma-cello once, but found the overtones bitter & not nearly as nice as lemon.

That old fashioned recipe sounds way too sweet for me

Satsuma marmalade
Satsuma curd.
Instead of lemoncello, maybe satsumacello.

Pretty much anything you can do with a Meyer lemon for long term storage and use, you can do with satsumas.

I wonder if satsuma meringue pie would be any good...

Add to fresh squeezed margarita. 2 parts lime 1 part satsuma. With 2 parts tequila and 1 part Cointreau
