Tip

This is a great way to preserve the zest & juice of citrus fruits if you get an abundance from your tree or from a friend.

The ingredients list Lemons/Limes but you could quite easily follow the same steps for grapefruit & oranges, you may just need to juice it for a little longer - you could use the steaming basket for straining.

Do lemons & limes separately, or together; these steps apply for both.

You can add icing sugar to the zest to coat the sides of cheesecakes or roll blissballs in.

The GF cornflour means the zest can be used for GF baking in the future, just in case. It also stops the oils in the zest sticking the pieces together. I used 1Tbsp for around 6 limes, use a teaspoon for 2-3 lemons/limes worth of zest.

This is suitable in TM31 & TM5.
