Lemon rind

Often when cooking one ends up with juiced lemons with rind to spare. Then one gets a recipe that requires rind, but no juice. The solution is obvious.

Whether you're juicing standard supermarket lemons or their seasonal Meyer cousins, save the rinds for this vibrant yellow syrup. It's pure sunshine in a bottle, made from nothing but sugar dissolved by the acidic pulp—no cooking required! Since there's no added juice, it tastes more sweet than sour, but is balanced by the subtle bitterness of lemon oil.

Candied Lemon Peel | "This is a good way to use up lemon rind and it goes good with coffee or on cake. It really does taste like candy, and you can do this to ANY citrus fruit. If you use oranges you can add brandy, cloves or other spices the mixture. Chop it up and put it in cookies, or just eat it by itself." #dessertrecipes #dessertideas #lemon #lemonrecipes #lemondesserts
