If possible, use organic lemons. Otherwise, be sure to scrub the lemons really well. If you don’t have caster sugar, regular granulated sugar will work in a pinch. This recipe works with any citrus fruit.
Ingredients
2 3 tbsp
Method
Run a four-prong curly lemon zester from one end of each lemon to the other to create long, thin strips of zest, working your way all the way around the fruit. On a large plate, toss together the zest and sugar. Spread the zest out in a single layer and leave to dry for about 30 minutes, tossing occasionally. Store in an airtight container. Tap off any excess sugar before using.
