Citrus fruits, peaking in winter, provide a bright and tangy flavor that can be enjoyed year-round. Utilizing citrus peels creatively, one popular method is candying, which transforms the bitter rind into a sweet treat. Candied peels are versatile, perfect for garnishing desserts such as key lime pies and lemon bars, or adding to baked goods like scones. The candying process is accessible, involving the removal of pith, blanching, and simmering in sugar syrup, resulting in a delightful snack that can brighten winter days.
Candied citrus peels can be a deliciously sharp and sweet snack that's firm but chewy with a wonderful tang. They make a great garnish for a wide range of applications.
The process of candying citrus peels is simple, and can be used for almost any type of citrus. Recipes vary, but most involve boiling and blanching the peels.
