Any ideas for left over lemon skin?
« on: December 21, 2014, 12:27:15 pm »
Hi everyone,

I made the fresh lemonade today which was delicious, but now have all the lemon peel
left over.

Does anyone have any ideas what i could use it for? Seems a waste to throw it away.

Cheers

Martha

Can dry it and grind it it up as a Flavour for cakes and biscuits.
Can make your own peel,( use in Xmas Puds and under steamed puds)  I have posted somewhere on the process. I always keep small packets frozen .
Strip of candied peel dipped in chocolate.
Hope this helps.
