  • About

Sugar-coated citrus zest dresses up nearly any dessert, but it makes an especially nice sweet-bitter garnish for simply flavored ice creams and fruit sorbets. It’s also a good topping for citrus-based desserts or can be eaten alone as a candy.

Ingredients

  • Citrus fruits, 3 large lemons, 4 limes, or 2 oranges

Method

Using a citrus zester, remove the zest from the citrus fruits in long, thin strips, being careful not to remove too much of the white pith along with the zest. Reserve the fruits for another use.

Bring a saucepan three-fourths full of water to a boil over high heat. Add the zest strips and boil for 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Repeat this step once more, using fresh wate
