I just tried making these and I have a couple tips: 1. Don't cook your lemons too long lol. I did because I thought they looked great, but it wasn't "long enough," so I kept going. Go more by how they look than the actual time, especially if you are making more or less than the recipe. (Same for oranges, but the timing worked for me on those.) The glassy look and the syrupy liquid is what you want. That said, I'm pretty sure my lemons are still going to come out great, just a little chewier 2. The recipe doesn't say what to do with the liquid after, but you can totally save and use it! If you continue cooking the sugar syrup (now citrus flavored) down, you will basically turn it into candy. when it gets thick and bubbly and starts to brown, you can spoon it out onto parchment paper and let it cool into little lozenges like hard candies. Don't throw away good food! 3. In my oranges, I used half white sugar, half brown sugar and threw in a few cloves. Smelled *amazing*. After removing the slices, I simply poured the remaining syrup into a jar to save. You likely won't have to refrigerate it, as the sugar content will be high enough to preserve it. But I gave it a taste, and dang. It will be so good on pancakes, ice cream, yogurt - whatever you want. Or you can save to use for a future dessert. The whole process took a good amount of time, but is not difficult at all. Highly recommend!

What is the purpose in boiling them in water the first time?

@msr1116 Ай бұрын

First boil extracts bitterness from pith.

@Serai3 Ай бұрын

It occurs to me you could mix small-leaf herbs like thyme into the syrup when it gets thick enough to spoon onto the parchment. Thus making the flavor more complex.

Yes. They have been candied and are edible. Orange and lemon and lime peel are also a cooking ingredient that you find in baked goods such as panettone and mince pies. Most of the flavour in those fruits are in the peel itself rather than the flesh inside the fruit.

wonder if the water used to boil them can be used somehow? perhaps even as a flavored water cold from the fridge i would think all the minerals,vitamins and bitters extracted by the water would not only give it a good taste but its good for you like those specialty smart water or seltzers they sell

I make candied orange and lemon peel at Christmas - and this is done very much the same way. I did try saving the sweet syrup after I was done to add to tea- it wasn’t as tasty as I expected it would be. But now since I’m seeing something about this again I wonder if it would be good adding to carbonated water that so popular now - I’ll give it a try next time I make this Christmas candy! It a long messy process but the results are so good especially if you drizzle chocolate over the orange peels!

@MasterGhostf 4 ай бұрын

could try is adding, orange/lemon extract to the syrup to boost its flavor a bit.

@nyrockchicxx 4 ай бұрын

If you keep them in a jar separately the orange syrup can be great like a honey into your tea. But it IS very light flavored and you might have to add some add'l sugar. I always save the syrup after making these. I've never done the lemon but I feel inspired.

Try using grapefruit peel sliced about ½" wide. I like cooking it until it's still a bit soft and jelly like. Dip one end in dark chocolate. It was even better than the orange.

Blanching the citrus is important. Otherwise, the fruit will be bitter. Can add a drop of food coloring to make them brighter. Use sparkling sugar for the second time.

You’re so right - I blanch the peel in clean water, bring to a boil for 15 min 6 times before I finally make the syrup. Yes getting rid of the bitter makes them delicious- it’s faster if you don’t but the results is great!
