Lemon Peel

Extra fancy California zest (outer peel) with strong lemon flavor and bright yellow color. Minced lemon peel is preferred for baked goods such as lemon poppy seed muffins and cookies such as lemon bars, while powdered is nice for cheesecake. To rehydrate: Use 3 parts water to 1 part lemon peel, and let stand for 15 minutes. When substituting dried lemon peel for fresh, use 1/3 as much as a recipe calls for.
