Making use of surplus Citrus Fruit
With winter here and citrus fruit ripening in abundance, a large portion of it wastes. Already limes are dropping in the gardens. Citrus are healthy and versatile. Try slicing limes and lemons thinly and drying them out in a dehydrator of a low oven. Once dried, they can be stored in an airtight jar and saved for use when the citrus season has finished.
Uses:
* Add to drinks for lemon or lime flavour
* Dice or use whole in baking and other dishes
* Place in decorative jars and use for personalised gifts.
