Orange peels aren't orange, they are gold! That peels is loaded with amazing oil that will bring many of your recipes to the next level. Don't throw it in the trash or compost! Use it!
We do our best to zest our oranges and lemons before peeling or squeezing these fruits. We love our microplane for this purpose. It zests easily and beautifully. It also grates ginger, garlic, and whole nutmeg like a dream.
The zest does not seem to keep well in the fridge - maybe 2 days. We use a little air tight container to put the zest in the FREEZER. You can put it in your recipes straight from the freezer.
What to do with that zest? Here are some recipes that use it. Enjoy!
