Never tried it Chrissie but used to pinch some whenever my mother used it in a recipe.  

What are you using: orange / lemon / lime? Let us know how it turns out.

i have 3 oranges two lemons and a grapfruit , its at the drying out stage, but it looks pretty all covered in sugar , i have kept the syrup to drizzle on a cake tomorrow .

peels doing great now its started to harden off and it realy tastes like it supposed to be , any marmalade makers can use up any surplus peel they might have left over.
