#lemon #candiedlemonpeel #howto - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I use a lot of lemons and buy them at Costco, but often just toss the used lemons down the disposal to freshen up the sink. How fortunate you ae to grow your own lemons and have inspired me to make the candied peels and then the stollen for the holidays. Great gifts for my neighbors.
What a great idea to use them to freshen up your disposal! Have fun making the candied peel and baking Stollen! Your neighbors are so lucky 😊 ~ Anja
I love this idea! Can’t wait to make these and then dip them in dark chocolate
Yes! That sounds yummy! Happy making 😊 ~ Anja
I make this every year from our lemons from the trees but I never leave the pith on the lemon strips... I scrape it off.. better lemon peel candy for sure.
You are such a delight!! I am so happy to have discovered your channel! Love, Mary🤗
you are so sweet 💛! Thank you ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome - Hi Anja, I have to share with you that I absolutely loved your video about the no discard/no feeding sourdough starter. That is such a great idea. I am going to take my starter and start doing it the way you do it. I’m confident that I’ll be a success. And then I want to make a video about my experience in transitioning to your method. I will credit you and link to your channel because I’d like to let my viewers know about your method. Genius!! Love, Mary🤗
@@MarysNest I just love receiving a comment like yours 💛! Happy sourdoughing and please do let me know how it turns out ~ Anja
Have you made candied citrus peel before? I'd love to hear your comments and questions!
Really helpful! It’s quite expensive to buy here in England for what it is, and I love including chopped lemon peel in cookies but don’t like paying the price. Stollen is amazing too! I will try to do it all in my dehydrator.
I am so glad you enjoy this video and thank you so much for commenting and sharing 💛 ~ Anja
Where are you shopping waitrose?
Seeing your German Cookbook: Mind blown!!! Such an awesome looking cookbook!
Right? I love my antique cookbooks 😊 ~ Anja
I love your videos, they are incredibly practical and handy.
Thank you so much 😊 !
Love your channel. I’m in Northern California and My eight lemon trees are ready to harvest. Thank you for the wonderful recipe!
that is so great! Yay for lemons! Thank you so much for commenting 💛 ~ Anja
Don't throw away the liquid.
wonderful video,easy clear and peaceful absolutely enjoyed it, i’ll try making it now
Yay! I am so glad you enjoyed this video! Thank you so much for your sweet comment 💛 ~ Anja
Bless you dear you have opened a whole new gate way to cooking for me
I'm so glad!
I’m making a lemon mousse today, just finished up with the lemon curd for it so now I’ll be making these to top my mousse with! Thanks so much
You are so welcome!
wow it looks delicious 😋🍋 I'll try that
I am so glad you like the candied lemon peel 💛 ~ Anja
Awesome video!
I found this recipe, which certainly is traditional, after I went off-road, but with surprisingly good results. I used similar amounts of sugar/water and medium heat, but I did not trim all of the pulp off, added the juice to the mixture and added a tsp of salt - then simmered up and down the heat for 3 hrs+. The result: a very mellow citrus flavor with caramelized, brown syrup and a nice slightly bitter citrus edge which balances the sweet. Its time to add to various dishes, the first is in fresh hummus. I will try this recipe, too. Thank you.
This sounds great, I might have to try that. Thank you so much for sharing 😊 ~ Anja
Very nice and helpful!!!
I am so glad to hear that 💛 ~ Anja
I would certainly add these to some fruit snap cookies I make at Christmas but I add some organic lemon to smoothies - peel & all in the winter months for extra vitamin C
Nice!
This is the way to go for candy. I used to be a big candymonger but growth is now horizontal and not vertical; reading the ingredients in the candy isle is a disgusting turnoff. With this recipe, you have to work for it and thus appreciate it more; you also know exactly what’s in it.
Well said!
Danke :)
You can save the water for lemonade
Delicious
Yes and thank you for sharing 😊 ~ Anja
These look great. And would taste delicious in the Stollen. I was wondering how you store them and how long the last? Thanks for your many lovely and traditional recipes. I have a German Mennonite heritage, so I am familiar with alot of these items! 😊
The more sugar you use, the longer they will last but definitely 4 months ~ Anja
Anja du musst uns erzählen was der Titel von diesem super Kochbuch ist. In alt-deutsch. I love it!!!
Es ist Mathilde Ehrhardt's "Großes Illustriertes Kochbuch", Reprint der Ausgabe Berlin 1904 😊 ~ Anja
We are non-drinkers but we use the lemon syrup in baked goods or to sweeten tea.
Thank you for this, I’ve been looking for an old method. Wondering though, don’t all the lemon oils get tossed in that first discard? That’s precious stuff, no?
The oils probably get tossed out but I am not sure how to candy the peels without losing the oils. Sorry for not being more helpful 😌 ~ Anja
Thanks! I'm gonna start doing it, since I have great lemons in my backyard. How long candied lemon peels will stay good for, stored in a jar at a room temperature? And how long will they stay good if I freeze them?
Great questions! If you want to store them, I would toss them in additional sugar and cover them tightly. They should last at least one month at room temperature. You can also refrigerate or freeze them (they should last a few months). Hope this helps ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome Thank you
Could you do video on preserved Lemons please?
that's a great idea and I'll see what I can do 👍 ~ Anja
That water would probably be good for the garden once cooled.
Yes, good idea!
Is the first castoff water good for something? Maybe cleaning?
Good question! I am sure it has a lot of the citrus oils in it and is probably good for cleaning 😊 ~ Anja
You can do the same with orange peel. Then using both for backing Weihnachts Stollen.
Yes, it is the same method for orange peel 💛😊💛 ~ Anja
Since I sadly don't have my own lemon/orange tree is there a tip on how to get rid of most of the pesticides from the peel? Or do most of them get destroyed in the process? I'm always very hesitant working with peels because of that.
well since your boiling it multiple times i assume that the bacteria’s and pesticide naturally die. i’m not sure but it should be safe. also try to buy from local farmers where they don’t use pesticides. hope this helped :)
Das „Anja“ am Anfang hörte sich so vertraut deutsch an, hab dann den Standort vom Account geschaut aber da stand USA, hab mir nichts weiter gedacht und hab weiter geschaut. Am Ende sagst du dann, dass es Zitronat auf deutsch heißt und ich so „Ahhh mein Gefühl hatte doch recht“ 😂 tolles Video, werd ich ausprobieren!
Haha, japp, ich bin Deutsch durch und durch ☺️
Would candied ginger be done the same way?
yes, the method to make candied ginger is very similar to making candied lemon peel. However, you don't need to boil and drain the ginger 3 times, only boil once, and then simmer in the sugar water. Hope this helps and thank you so much for commenting 💛 ~ Anja
Question: how well does this work if you have also zested the lemon?
I haven't done it myself but it may be worth a try.
Wonderful I'm making this now and I have made Stolen at Christmas, I had created a Christmas menu on my fridge. Stolen and then bread rolls below, which caused my brother in-law to ask if I had stolen my bread rolls? 😊😆👀
Which I had to explain Stolen is a German Sweet Bread, I made the stolen and the bread rolls, so no I didn't steel them. 😳😆
Haha, thank you for sharing 😊 ~ Anja
Great and simple video. Anyone know the shelf life of the candied lemon or orange peels?
They say it lasts about 2-3 months but I have had it last longer than that 😊 ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome Thank you! I appreciate your response!
Can your cooking process be done in cast iron too?
I have not tried it myself but think it could work. Let me know how it turned out if you use cast iron 😊~ Anja
Lovely, thank you. What's the shelf life pls? X
I have had some last a year …
Can this be dried in a dehydrator?
While I personally haven't done dried them in the dehydrator, I think it would work well. If you do, let me know how it turned out 😊 ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome will do!
Why would you toss out the juice? its great and has all the nutrients
Good question! I actually often use it for all sorts of drinks. Thank you for sharing 💛 ~ Anja
Hello 👋.
Won't the boiling decrease the lemon flavor from the peels? Does the finished product becomes dry or will it be moist? And what are their shelf life?
Thank you.
They do keep their lemon flavor b/c of the oils in the peels and therefore they will stay moist in an airtight container. They should last 6 months, possibly more ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome Thank you
how long are u supposed to boil?
Boil for 10 mins, drain, and repeat 2 more times. Here's the printable recipe: ourgabledhome.com/how-to-make-candied-lemon-peel/ Hope this helps 😊 ~ Anja
What conditions should they dry in?
Room temp is fine
Since you boil and drain the water three times to remove the bitterness, I wonder if a person could use the peels that have already been zested? Do you know? Partially zested maybe?
Probably and I would say it's worth a try. If you do, let me know how they turned out 😊 ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome thanks, I will let you know! If I can find some organic lemons...
@@OurGabledHome I did it! I was finally able to get some organic lemons from Azure. I zested them then dehydrated the zest. Then I juiced them. Then my daughter and I are the pulp with a touch of salt. Then I sliced the zested peels and boiled them in the sweet liquid. My daughter ate all of the lemon peel candy. ☺️
@@AgainsttheGrainHomestead sounds awesome! You got every good bit out of these lemons 🍋!
What is the shelf life how do I store it?
Conventional wisdom says somewhere around a few weeks but I have had them much longer than that and not go bad 🤷♀️ ~ Anja
it came out too bitter.. any fix?
I recommend boiling the perl longer and possibly 4 times ~ Anja
How much is a cup????
A cup of what? Not sure I understand 😌 ~ Anja
Mine turned out kinda strange. Still pretty bitter, bit into one and it was so intense it felt like I ate a hot pepper. Not sure what went wrong.
I'd say try again ...
How many lemons did you peel in the video?
Good question! I am thinking 3 lemons.
Very nice videos but I think it's sad that you provide the ingredients for this recipe only in cups. Sorry, but you as a German know the metric system, why not include it for the majority of peolple who work with that.
Good point! I will try to include metric in the future ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome Thanks, that would be really great. Merry Christmas!
@@Morticia147 Happy Holidays 😊
240 ml per cup
Make sure they are organic - conventional citrus has terrible chemicals in the peels 😬
Yes! I actually love using lemons from our garden 😊 ~ Anja
Get new videos please.
Lost me at the sugar....
Would be amazing if you can do with Honey....
But honey does become toxic if boiled...
Hmm 🤔
Unfortunately, I am not sure honey would work in this recipe 😌 ~ Anja
😭. You poured away the goodness
I did! I wasn't too impressed with the taste and didn't know what to do with it. What are your best tips?
You boiled the water and drained it. Lost all that nutrition...noooooo
I did! When I had made previous batches, we didn't like the syrup so much 🤷♀️ ~ Anja
No no no you trim the pith
Thank you for sharing 😊 ~ Anja
That whole narrative at the beginning is unnecessary such as the German cookbook. You have only a few thousand likes cuz you talk too much and no action. The guy with 20m views didn't have to give his resume and bio at the beginning like you. I am moving on to the next person with candied lemons. Bye.
You nasty little person! Why not just shut your mouth and move on, out of our company!
@@marisevorster1711 Well I stand by my comment. AND this is TH-cam so I am entitled to my comment.
I enjoy videos with personality. She seems wonderful. Why not be a good person and simply not insult strangers and just look for the type of videos you do like?
