Dried Orange Or Lemon Peel Recipe
Yield: 14 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
12: Med-skinned oranges or lemons,
Directions:
Makes 1/4 c powdered orange peel or 1/8 c powdered lemon peel
a cheese or vegetable grater
Use the coarse side of a cheese grater to grate off the citrus skin in
strips; use only the orange (or yellow) part of the skin avoiding the
bitter white part. Spread the peel strips on two ceramic plates and
let dry, uncovered, at room temperature, for 3 to 4 days. When the
peels become brittle and shriveled, store them in a small glass jar.
To use: Whirl the whole dried peels in a blender or food processor
until powdered, or use a mortar or pestle. The strong citrus oil will
stay within the dry peels and will be released fully upon powdering.
Use whole dried orange peel in tea blends and to perk up hot
chocolate. Use powdered orange or lemon peel in place of extract in
baking; also in toppings, to flavor sugar-bowl sugar and to flavor
honey, duck, and barbecue sauces.
