Confit lemon peel jam
Servings 20 dishes
Ingredients
- 5 lemons
- 100 g water
- 100 g sugar
Instructions
- Take the lemons and peel them with a triangle canneleur. You can also do this with a knife, but I find this tool very helpful for an even result. Then slice it in small pieces.
- Once that’s done blanch the peels for a minute in some boiling water. Then drain the water and repeat this process two more times. This will remove the bitter flavor.
- After the third time drain the water again and then add the 100 grams of water with the sugar.
- Let this simmer on a low heat to confit the peels. This takes about an hour.
- Meanwhile clean the zested lemons by slicing off the peels. Now make a cut on one side of the segment and twist you knife to remove it. If there are any also remove the seeds.
- Then when the peels have confit and softened add the lemon segments and continue heating it till you’re left with a nice jam.
- Now pour it into a bowl and let it cool down in your fridge.
