candied lemon peel
Crystallized citrus skin
Candied lemon peel is lemon rind that has been preserved by cooking in sugar syrup until saturated, then dried.
The process transforms bitter peel into a sweet, chewy confection.
It appears in baking—fruitcakes, panettone, holiday cookies—and as a standalone treat, sometimes dipped in chocolate: She folded candied lemon peel into the batter.
