MIXED CITRUS PEEL 800g (Lightly sulphured)

Mixed Citrus Peel (Gemengde Sitrus Skille) is the secret ingredient of serious South African bakers — the combination of dried orange, lemon and citrus peels that gives fruit cake, hot cross buns and Christmas pudding their characteristic aromatic lift. Our citrus peel is cut into small, jewel-bright pieces that are intensely flavoured with natural citrus oils, adding both flavour and visual appeal to any bake.
