I’m going to start saving all my orange peels. 😊 it’s hard for me to find citron. I bought some lemons. I’ll candy those but what do you use candied lemon in? Also if I am doing both oranges and lemons should they be in separate pots? I can’t wait to start. I may have to peel a bunch of oranges. Maybe make a cake💕
This is me, every year. (And I thought I had invented the orange powder trick haha). I make herb powder and mushroom powder too btw. They end up looking like jars of pure pigment.
Ah, Santa Maria Novella! We have seen the basilica and the museo and had a drink in the piazza, but did not go into the profumo. We stayed in a small hotel on Via Del Giglio.

I'd use lemons for a citrussy pound cake, but also in a brioche!
And yes, you should be using two separate pots, as time of candying may vary according to the thickness of the peels!
Candied lemons are lovely in madeleines.
Oh that’s a good idea. Thank you ☺️
Now I want to make lemon peels, too!
I came to ask the same question, a friend came to dinner and brought me a jar of candied lemon rinds she’d made 💛
Thank you!
Hello Gabrielle. I believe we met in November in San Miniato!
Ohmygoodness!!
At Emiko’s? I’m awful with names 🤦🏻♀️. The world is so tiny.
Candied lemon and pistachio in the cream inside a cannoli! Really easy after you have candied the lemon and frozen the shells in advance.
Do you chop the candied fruit to use in a pound cake? Lemon pound cake is a favorite. How do I incorporate candied lemon?
I would finely mince it and mix it into the batter at the end!
What a great project!

What a beautiful image, jars of pure pigment! I need to make herb powder, too!
It’s very cold in new England and This post Warmed me up. Starting to save peels for candied citrus. In door sunshine.
A truly fantastic and inspiring post Guilia. Thank you.
Thank you, Lisa! I find the process of candying peels so fascinating and rewarding!

I've made the orange powder before, but having read your super post I'm going to make it again!
Still make your Jamie Oliver Christmas Cake every year! X 🥰
Both are among the most reproduced recipes from the blog; and for a good reason!
I especially appreciate that nothing is wasted in your kitchen!
something I owe to my grandmother and the way she cooked
