Candied Lemon Peel Made The Lazy Way
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
This is a way of making candied lemon peel using thick peel (with the white pith still on it)...
After making this many times, I put together my method for a delicious result.
You can use this method for buntan or other citrus fruit with even thicker peels.
You can keep this for a long time in the refrigerator.
They become more delicious after a few days.
I don't like the bitterness of peel, so this tastes really good to me, but if you prefer to have some bitterness you may find these inadequate. Recipe by Yukijirushi

- 1
Day 1: Cut the lemon peel in any size you like, and soak in water (you can leave it soaking overnight).
- 2
Boil the lemon peel in plenty of salted boiling water. Simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes after it comes to a boil.
- 3
Drain the peel into a sieve, soak in cold water and leave overnight.
- 4
Change the soaking water 2 to 3 times during that time. If you leave the peel in a sieve or colander as it soaks, it's easier to change the water.
- 5
Day 2: Bring the peel and plenty of plain water to a boil this time. When it comes to a boil, boil for 10 minutes, and drain. Repeat this 3 times. Leave to soak in water again overnight.
- 6
Day 3: Drain the peel into a sieve. (I leave the peel like this for half a day so that the water can drain off completely. )
- 7
Mix the peel with the granulated sugar, and leave overnight. The sugar will permeate the peel.
- 8
Day 4: Cook in a pan until there's no moisture left. If you add some lemon juice (2 lemons worth, not listed) at this time, the peel will become very lemony.
- 9
They'll become shiny and translucent.
- 10
Line the peel on a sheet of kitchen parchment paper and leave them to dry. Optionally dust with more granulated sugar (not included in the ingredient list) and they are done.
- 11
You can also dry them out for 20 minutes or so at 140°C in the oven.
- 12
The peel will be plump and thick.
- 13
If you are using the lemon peel as a cooking ingredient, it's best not to dust them with additional granulated sugar. The peel is translucent and really pretty.

Candied citrus peel is delicious. You can make this in much the same way as candied orange peel.If finishing with a coat of granulated sugar, it might become too sweet, so adjust the amount of sugar when cooling the peel. Recipe by Oshiruko
Homemade Candied Hassaku Peel
I wanted to make homemade candied peels, so I created my own recipe by referencing a variety of recipes and consolidating the best of each!When coating the peels in granulated sugar, they will get sticky, but once they are well coated, the sugar will dry up and stop sticking.By repeating Step 3, you can get rid of some of the astringency (bitterness).Coating them in chocolate makes them extra delicious. For 2 hassaku's worth. Recipe by Jay
Candied Amanatsu Citrus Peel
Amanatsu peels are so pretty, so I thought I'd try making my own candied peel with it. I wasn't too precise cutting up the peel, so this may not be very professional, but I had great fun making it.It's really important to remove all of the white pith from the peel, otherwise your candied peels will be bitter. Leave the peel to dry completely in Step 5 is also very important, otherwise it will just absorb the dredging sugar and become soggy. You can make this recipe with any citrus fruit. However, grapefruits have a very distinctive bitter taste so it may not work well. Recipe by mashiho

Candied Iyokan Orange Peels
It is a quite shame to throw away the peels, but you can candy them for an amazing treat!At Step 3, cover the peels in a saucepan and add the same amount of sugar. The peels are already tender, so you don't need to simmer them for a long time. Just let sit overnight and you will have coloured orange peels. For a Iyokan marmalade, refer to. Recipe by commeline
Preserved Lemons
I always preserve both sliced lemons and lemons cut into wedges, so that I have the type I need for different dishes. I add the preserved lemons to marinades for chicken that's to be simmered and so on. The syrup can be used for dressings and quick pickles! Both the lemons and syrup can be used as very refreshing, delicious seasoning ingredients in all sorts of ways - these salted lemon slices are useful.You can preserve the lemons in salt only, but if you add just a little sugar, the salty taste will become milder. The lemons are kept at room temperature as they mature (about 2 weeks to a month), but when the weather is hot it's best to keep them in the refrigerator afterwards. During the winter you can keep them in a cool dark place. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

Lemon Jam
We received a lot of freshly picked lemons as a gift.The cooking time will vary depending on how strong the heat is, so adjust.By not simmering it for too long, you can preserve the fragrance and color of the lemons.If you leave the white pith, it will be bitter. Thinly peel off just the zest using a vegetable peeler.You don't have to parboil the zest - it will still be delicious. Recipe by Yukijirushi
Candied Citrus and Ginger
I think candied citrus peels are somewhat of an acquired taste. Kind of like mustard, hated during childhood and appreciated in adulthood. This is actually the second version of this recipe. The first version had thinly sliced habaneros in it and it was successful. Anyway, these can be eaten as a snack or used in baking applications. Be sure to save the syrup to make hot tea or use as a glaze.

Because it's all the rage I added bay leaves since they go well with lemons.Although it may be common knowledge, since these can be preserved for a long time, be sure to thoroughly sterilize your jar.I recommend sterilizing the jar with a high-proof alcohol, such as gin or vodka. Recipe by coo&324
Sciroppo di limoni
Quest’anno gli alberi di limoni nel giardino di mia madre sono particolarmente carichi di frutti grossi e succosi. Dopo aver fatto tanta ottima marmellata (da non aver più spazio nella dispensa delle meraviglie), mi son chiesta in quale altro modo avrei potuto utilizzare tutti quei limoni che per nessun motivo potevano andare persi. Quando ho visto questo sciroppo nel ricettario di @mimmaciccarese, mi è balenata in testa la soluzione. Quale migliore ricetta se non questa per realizzare una genuina bibita rinfrescante fatta in casa per l’estate? Ma non solo! Questo sciroppo si presta per innumerevoli utilizzi. Vi do qualche idea nelle note🔸in fondo. Ho anche raccolto tutta la scorza che altrimenti sarebbe andata buttata; l’ho tritata in un tritatutto e l’ho conservata in un vasetto di vetro in freezer, pronta all’occorrenza anch’essa per aromatizzare un dolce, un risotto, o qualsiasi altra pietanza. Ecco, vi ho fornito mille motivi per provare a farlo perché oltretutto la sua preparazione è facilissima!Follow me, Sweetly Elvie on Instagram, Cookpad and Facebook 👩🏻🍳🍋#sciroppodilimoni #estate #bibitafresca #lemonsodahomemade #limoni #estate

Lemon Marmalade
I am trying to grow lemon trees at my house. I love lemons, and other citrus. So I am looking ahead to make recipes with lemons. Sweet, tart, and a tiny bit bitter in a good way. Be sure to get all the pith you can off the fruit and maybe use it as fertilizer or compost. Just don't use it in the recipe. It will turn super bitter. This is for just about all citrus.
California Farm Preserving Lemons
The crop of lemons is coming in. One large glass jar is sufficient to hold a years supply of preserved fresh lemons for cooking. You simply quarter a lemon lengthwise and stuff inside the jar with a pinch of salt. The salt will draw out the lemon juice which will preserve the lemons.

Limoni confit 🍋sotto sale 🍋
Oggi volevo presentarvi i limoni sotto sale fermentati, una ricetta tipicamente nordafricana e mediorientale che ho visto sul profilo di Rainers Soulkitchen su InstagramOttimi abbinati a piatti marocchini tajine, carne, pesce, frutta verdure e dolci, le possibilità di utilizzo sono davvero illimitateLi ho ho preparati con il sale marino integrale, limoni siciliani bio, a cui ho aggiunto nella mia versione grazie ai consigli di un'amica:Alloro, pepe di Sichuan, semi di coriandolo, chiodi di garofano e in un vasetto il peperoncino piccantePer prepararli bisogna sterilizzare i barattoli di vetro, lavare bene i limoni e fare un'incisione a croce tenendo uniti gli spicchiQuesto potete farlo se utilizzate dei vasi piuttosto grandi altrimenti dividete gli spicchiPorre nei tagli un cucchiaio di sale grossoInserire nel vaso schiacciandoli per favorire la fuoriuscita del succo che deve coprire i limoniA questo punto sono pronti, oppure aggiungere le spezie che preferite come ho fatto ioChiudere con il coperchio e lasciare riposare almeno per un mese in un luogo fresco al buio avendo l'accortezza di rigirarli ogni tanto e controllare che siano coperti dal liquidoUna volta aperto il vaso lo conservare nel frigorifero, per utilizzarli gli spicchi vanno sciacquati sotto l'acqua corrente, per eliminare l'eccesso di sale.Potete solo immaginare il profumo e il sapore più denso e concentrato!!!E voi li conoscevate???

You can use preserved lemon for so many dishes! When your life gives you many lemons, let's preserve them so that you can enjoy the scent of fresh lemons for long time ✨
Storing Whole Lemons
I order fresh domestic lemons every year, keep them for a long time, and use them judiciously.When I use this method with green lemons in December, I usually use them up by April. While the green lemons are still being stored, they turn into yellow lemons.If they seem okay, they'll even keep during the summer. Recipe by olive11

Sugar Lemon Macarons With No Poser
I can strongly recommend this recipe since 90 % of people who tried this succeeded in making macarons.This recipe has a high success rate because of the "Swiss meringue" method that you whip the egg whites over a double boiler.These macaron shells are easier to get browned, so when they look like they will brown, cover with aluminum foil, or turn off the oven, and continue cooking with the residual heat. For about 24 macaron shells (3-4 cm [1.6 in] diameter). Recipe by C:Blue
Better than Store-Bought Lemon Curd
I received domestically grown lemons.It's easy to double boil by filling a shallow frying pan with boiling water, then once it cools, turn on the heat. As noted in Step 4, if it heats too quickly, it will turn lumpy, so double boil it slowly and steadily. Recipe by Hitomicchi
