Lemon gum is actually made from lemon peel and sugar. It is very simple. Lemon is a kind of fruit with high medicinal value. It is also commonly used for squeezing juice in summer. Lemons are all treasures. The lemons are squeezed. It would be a pity if the peel is wasted. The fragrance of lemon peel is very fresh. It is often used for dessert making. When there is excess lemon peel, it may be made into lemon sugar and preserved. In addition to making biscuits and cakes, it can also be added when cooking. Just like orange peel and grapefruit peel, it has the effect of removing fishy and increasing fragrance.

Ingredients

1 piece Lemon
80g Coarse Sugar
80g Caster Sugar

Lemon Gum

1. Wash one lemon and wipe off the surface moisture

2. Take the lemon zest (be careful not to take the white part)

3. Cut into thin strips (I used a paring knife to take the whole strip, so I have to cut it a bit smaller)

4. Take out coarse and fine granulated sugar and set aside (you can use other granulated sugar, salt is fine too)

5. Take 80 grams of coarse granulated sugar and fine granulated sugar respectively, mix them with the zest of half a lemon, and place them in a jar sealed and preserved

6. Shake it every day to prevent the sugar from clumping completely (the lemon peel will pickle a little water during the period) and pickle for 3-5 days
