Chopped Mixed Citrus Peel

What Is Chopped Mixed Peel?

Our mixed peel is a mixture of oranges and lemons. The outermost, coloured part of the peel is known as the zest, which is scraped off and is used for its tangy flavour. The fleshy white part of the peel is always bitter when raw, but becomes sweet when candied, a process involving boiling with sugar.

Why Should I Get Chopped Mixed Peel ?

Chopped mixed peel is great for adding a bit of extra zest and texture to baking, and classically used in holiday baking. Fruitcakes, hot cross buns and Christmas puddings were traditionally made well in advance of the holiday.

The best way to use it is to garnish cakes, ice-cream, fruit custards, puddings and most baked goods. Or how about try adding it to orange juice and other beverages for that extra punch of flavour.

Instruction For Use:

This tangy mix has lots of uses - particularly in the domain of sweet baking. Use it to create and decorate your favourite cake, tart, pudding and dessert recipes. You can also use it to add vital tang and depth of flavour to mulled wine and similar hot beverages.

Storage Instructions: 

Store in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat and damp.
