Candied Lemon Peel Made The Lazy Way
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

Cooking Instructions
- 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 Amanatsu Citrus Peel 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 -

Preserved Lemons 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 -

Candied Citrus and Ginger 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.
