Step 3: Sweeten the Mix After the peels have been boiled and drained, it’s time to add some natural sweetness. Combine the peels, mandarin juice, and lemon juice in a pot. The citrusy combination of mandarin and lemon juice creates a delightful aroma and adds a natural sweetness to the mix.
Step 4: Let It Simmer Let the mixture simmer gently. Keep an eye on it, stirring occasionally, until the peels become translucent and the liquid thickens into a syrupy consistency. This is when the magic happens – the peels absorb the lovely citrus flavors, turning into a delightful treat.
Step 5: Enjoy Your Creation Once done, allow the mixture to cool. You’ll notice the peels have transformed into glossy, candied pieces, bursting with flavor. Use them to add a zesty touch to desserts, or enjoy them as a standalone treat.
