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
