My First Podcast: What to do with those Citrus Peels!!!

Welcome to my first podcast here on Lean Clean Green Lifestyle.  I am really excited.  This episode is all about how to use left over citrus peels around the house.

On the podcast I also promised a recipe for candied citrus peels to use for decorating desserts ... or just for a fun treat.

Enjoy!!   Listen to this episode


 Candied Citrus Peels

1 cup citrus peels (orange, lemon, lime, etc), cut into thin strips
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup water

Directions:
1. Place peel strips into a large saucepan and cover with water.  Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes longer.  Drain and repeat this process two more times.
2.  In a medium saucepan, heat sugar and 1/4 cup of water over high heat until boiling.  Place peel in sugar mixture, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until sugar is dissolved.  Remove peel with a slotted spoon and dry on wire rack overnight.  Store in airtight container.
