I had a batch of lemons of outstanding quality and decided to use this recipe in order to make lemon candied peel. It really is a great recipe, everything went well - although at the end I chickened out and poured the syrup coated peels onto a base of sugar and then poured sugar onto them. I got in enough of a sticky mess handling them the first time. They were easy to toss in sugar once mostly coated - at least the sugar was on them this time. I also saved the water from both boiled batches and added it to the syrup. I then brought both up to a high temperature and simmered and stirred them. I did can the liquid as it tasted absolutely amazing. It was good enough to use on its own or I could add it to juice and water to make a soda or such. Great recipe thanks. PS May be worth adding a note to retain the water at the first stage as people could have discarded it by the time you mention it at a later point in the video.

I am back to view again! I have eaten countless Le Parfait jars full of all candied citrus permutations, I am now using a different variety of lemon, one with slightly thinner rind. I have even made this recipe minus the zest altogether, just using the ends of the fruit to add the additional flavour. I tried that because I tend to peel/ grate the zest, then juice the fruit, then pull out the membranes and use the rind for the candy. Great way not to waste so much of the fruit - hooked!

Placed in oven on tray and dehydrated on 225/230 degrees for about 2/3 hours. It worked! They are perfection! Just the right amount of sweetness and tartness! It is so good 😊! I’m keeping them stacked on paper towels and refrigerated. You could definitely Chocolate coat some, use as a garnish or in a vodka martini or in my Stollens I’m planning on making this week!

To candy ginger you would just simmer the cut up ginger for the whole half hour then follow the same process with the simple syrup???
@inthekitchenwithmatt4 жыл бұрын
Pretty similar yes. Peel the ginger root and cut into thin slices. Add to a pot of water on medium-high heat and cook for 30 to 40 minutes. No need to switch the water. Save some of the water after you drain the ginger, like 1/2 cup of it. Then add 2 cups of sugar to that ginger water. Bring that to a boil and let the sugar dissolve then add the ginger. Reduce the heat to medium/medium low and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes, make sure to stir. Then drain and let them cool on a rack, for a few hours before dipping them in sugar, then let them dry. So yes pretty similar! :) Some people will also just keep simmering it until the water is completely gone and the sugar crystalizes on the soft ginger, then cool it. No need to dip it later.

Can you use brown sugar for the sugar syrup? Anyone done that? I’m simply asking because I only have enough white sugar to coat them and I don’t plan on shopping today but have lots of orange and lemon peel ready to cook in the fridge… 🤗😋
@inthekitchenwithmatt2 жыл бұрын
I have never tried it with brown sugar. But you can make simple syrup with brown sugar, so I don't see why not. I think it will add a caramel flavor to the peels though.

Or you can use tongs to remove lemon slices from the syrup. Save time by putting lemon slices and sugar in a zip-loc bag and rolling them around. And, sugar syrup can be used in sweetening tea and baked goods. Just saying!

You need to let it dry longer, after you cook it down in the sugar solution and remove it, place it on a wire rack. Let it dry until tacky or even more dry. Then roll it in sugar. If the sugar still melts a little, roll it in more sugar and let it dry some more. :)

With this item a big story happened today. I saw this video yesterday. Asked my dad and mom orange. They said tomorrow. Dad went and told, there is long que, I will buy evening. I distrusted him and made head ache for him. He went again for me in lock down, in sunny, in head ache, without eating his lunch. he had no money. But bought one some other country orange with high cost. I became happy and started making this. I distrusted my mom for buying oranges . So my mom got anger and not helped to make this. I did this with the help of my dad. Video said to boil the orange peel 2 - 3 times. I told my dad same. 2 times went. 3rd time he dropped whole vessel. All gone waste. My father felt bad. I know if I cry. My dad will feel even more sad. So i tried not to cry. But i can't control, I cried. Seeing me, my dad said ..I am feeling like heart attack when u cry. My dad said I will bring one more orange for u. I said dad .. it's okay. Dad got tention, called mom. Then mom made orange peel with rest things . She then doing all what I saying. Dad was watching from back, sadly. Finally mom and me did it. Tasted ......... BITTER BITTER BITTER. BUT, My dad ate it saying, delicious, I got happy. Prayed to God. Thnx for for giving me best parents. I never want my parents to get hurt anymore . There happiness is mine . Be blessed. Love you dad and mom...❤

Yup you can, lemon works a little better however than orange for that. It is stronger.
@ParkerFaith9 ай бұрын
I agree with you, in that the lemon with vinegar is a better natural cleaner. I meant to express, and forgot, that in utilizing the orange water along after straining, and adding abit more water either tap, distilled, or purified water to spray as a lovely air freshener, or even a spritz for car care. Plus taking dried peels combined in a slightly opened bag that can heat up in the car to maintain a nice scent.

Hello, you need to keep boiling it and changing the water. Like I mention in the video, you may have to do it more times, it just depends on the oranges you use. Just keep boiling then changing the water, and boil more. Until it no longer tastes bitter.
