Tips:
Processing the peel: When adding the peel of citrus fruits to make jam, you can boil it in water to remove the bitterness of the peel. The method is as follows: Put the peel in a pot and boil twice with the amount of water that can cover the peel. After the first boil, filter out the water, and boil the second time with the same amount of water until the inner white film of the peel becomes transparent, then it can be picked up and drained for later use.
