Citrus Sugar
Zest from one orange, lemon, or lime (or mix it up and use part lime, part lemon, etc.)
1 cup sugar
Step 1:
Zest the citrus fruit. Finely chop the zest. Let the peel dry overnight, or place it in a low oven (100° F) for about 15 minutes to dry. (This will keep the zest from adding too much moisture to the sugar and causing clumps.)
Step 2:
Place the sugar in an airtight container or freezer bag. Add zest and stir to combine. Seal the container and let the mixture steep for about a week, or until it has attained the desired flavor.
Store in an airtight container.
