CANDIED LEMON PEEL - FRANCE

7 OZ Candied Lemon

The process of making candied citrus rind is time consuming, and it can be nerve racking, what with making sure the sugar concentration, times and temperatures are all correct, not to mention the quality of the fruit. We've managed to find some candied lemon rind sticks that have been imported from France, one of the countries that helped write the book on preserving fruit.

All the candied fruit made by Duchesse de Montizac is from the region known as Pèrigord Vert. Made on the premises from premium quality fruit, no coating is used after the candying process so that the optimum moist texture and natural fruit crunch is achieved.

Duchesse de Montizac uses a slow candying process of dipping and draining up to several days. The fruit is packaged immediately to retain its full flavor. These delicious lemon rind batons are not too sweet, too bitter, or too stiff.

They are perfect for a whole host of applications, use them as is to dip in your favorite dark chocolate couverture for a wonderful treat to serve with after dinner coffee. Or, you can dice then up and use them in a host of baking and confectionary applications from cookies and cakes to puddings and tarts.
