Candied Citron Peel

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Properly stored, it can last for a very long time.

Chop finely to distribute evenly in cakes, cookies, and fruitcakes.

Rinse briefly under warm water if you find it too sweet.

Use in Italian panettone or other holiday breads for a traditional flavor.

Dip pieces in melted chocolate for a simple, elegant treat.

Chocolate

Almonds

Raisins

Citrus zest

Using too much: Its strong flavor can easily overpower other ingredients.

Not chopping small enough: Large pieces can be chewy and unevenly distributed.
