Dehydrating Citrus Rind for Making Citrus Peel
Hello friends,
It's Christmas Cake making season again, so it's once again time to dehydrate our own citrus rinds for making citrus peel.
The process is very easy, all you need to do is to use your potato peeler to take off thin layers of citrus rind (I used lemons and limes from our trees), and then pop them into a dehydrator.
Luckily our dehydrator has a citrus peel calculator on the top, so I set the dehydrator to 55˚C and dried the rind for 4 hours.
When the rind was very dry, and snapped when bent in half, the citrus peel was ready to store.
Hubby made my Grandad Bob's Christmas Cake last weekend, and added the citrus peel to the recipe. I can't wait to try the cake out this Christmas, but you can too if you follow the recipe I posted in a blog post from last year.
Have a wonderful day
