Mixed Peel Candied

Mixed candied peel is a sweet and flavourful mixture of citrus fruit peels that have been boiled in sugar syrup, then dried and chopped into small pieces. The traditional mix typically includes the peels of oranges and lemons.

Candied peel is a popular ingredient in many baked goods, desserts, and sweets. Its sweet, slightly bitter, and tangy flavour adds a unique taste to a wide range of dishes. It is commonly used in fruitcakes, bread pudding, hot cross buns, panettone, and fruit mince pies. It's a favourite around Christmas time.

Apart from its use in desserts, mixed candied peel can be added to savoury dishes to enhance their flavours. It is commonly used in marinades, glazes, and sauces for meats, especially poultry and ham. It can also be mixed with nuts, dried fruits, and chocolate chips to create a delicious snack or trail mix.
