Lemon rind

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

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.

Lemon rind has high levels of potassium & vitamin C, as well as calcium & a healthy dose of dietary fiber. It can be used as a sugar scrub for skin & as nail whitener.
