Two weeks without a post is a grand premiere here\u2026 For the past 7 years I have been posting a few times a week and at most every 10 days when I was busy at work and on travel. So why 2 weeks this time? Well\u2026 travel is definitely not what is taking any of my time, even though we had a failed attempt to go back to France back in November, and the planning took a lot of our time, only to cancel everything 5 days prior departure because the situation was not looking too good in France then\u2026 but that\u2019s a long time ago! I can tell you that work has been busy but nothing out of the ordinary. So what? Have I quit cooking??? For sure not! But what did I cook then? Well, first a lot of things that were delicious but definitely not photogenic. Then a lot of cruising dishes: quiches, bread and scones but I bet you don\u2019t need another recipe of any of these\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we harvested all our hassaku and I went into a little plan of making several recipes\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in the end we love the raw fruits so much, plain and simple, that apart from a little batch of marmelade, but I\u2019m no good to teach anyone how to make it, rather I should learn myself, I made a lot of candied peels after we\u2019ve eaten the flesh. Though we eat little sugar, I love candied fruits and citrus peels of sorts candied. At that, I think I can proudly say that I am not bad! I have learned patience and it is paying off! So here\u2019s my recipe, but if you don\u2019t have hasaku, it works with any other citrus fruits. I personally like the thick skin of hassaku, but lemon, orange, yuzu\u2026 they all can work perfectly too. You just need to be sure that your fruits are untreated before and after harvest, that\u2019s why I only candy peels of fruits I am sure about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
