Lemon peel candy

Lemon peels have more Vit C than we can imagine!  It’s highly nutritious and most times we discard after we get the juice out. It hurts to see that and if not all, I thought of using a few peels and put them to good use. Besides pickles, I decided to make a digestive candy. I chose good quality lemon peels and stored them in a bottle with loads of salt. Over time they became soft and really sour and tasted delicious just the way they were. I decided to use them as lemon candy with lots of spices to enhance.
INGREDIENTS
5-6 halves of salted lemon peels
1 tbsp rock salt
1 tsp roasted cumin
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp haldi
1 tsp roasted and crushed ajwain
Big pinch hing

METHOD
1. Chop softened lemon peels into pieces.
2. Put them in the sun to dry up the juices they have.
3. When partially dry, add spices and sugar and toss well to make sure everything is coated.
4. Put in microwave for 30 secs or so to melt the sugar slightly.
5. Spread around to dry till all spices and sugar are coated and there is no moisture left.
6. Store and enjoy after dinner as a mouth freshener and digestive.
