candied peel
Preserved citrus skin
Candied peel is the outer rind of citrus fruits—typically orange, lemon, or citron—preserved by cooking in sugar syrup until saturated with sweetness.
Used as an ingredient in fruitcakes, panettone, and other baked goods, or eaten as a confection on its own.
The peel retains some bitterness beneath the sugar, giving it a complex flavor.
The recipe called for chopped candied peel.
