So, what is zestes de citron confit?
Zestes de citron confit, or candied lemon zest, is a delightful ingredient that adds a burst of tangy flavor and vibrant color to a variety of dishes. These small strips of lemon peel are first blanched to remove any bitterness, then simmered in a sugar syrup until they become tender and translucent. The resulting zestes de citron confit are sweet, slightly tart, and have a pleasantly chewy texture. They are commonly used to garnish desserts, such as cakes, tarts, and ice creams, but can also be added to savory dishes like salads or roasted meats for a refreshing twist.
