Homemade Mandarin Peels

Don't let your Mandarin Peels go to waste.

Before peeling, make sure to clean all the Mandarin oranges thoroughly.  I used Apple Cider Vinegar to soak and clean the Mandarins. Dry the Mandarins prior to peeling.

2 big trays of Mandarin peels

Pop into the dehydrator and leave it for 16 hrs or more depending on your dehydrator model or until the peels are fully dehydrated. 

The end results of my dehydrated Mandarin peels. Store in an airtight container.

It stays good for years if properly kept.

Tips - Keep dehydrated peels in an airtight container in a cool and dark place. It stays good for several years. 

Usage - 

1) Jazz Up Your Red Bean Soup dessert by adding  strips of dried mandarin peels into the soup while cooking. 

2) Flavor your Chinese stews and slow cooked dishes by adding dried Mandarin peels.

3) Add some dried mandarin  peels into any of your favorite tea for a more refreshing and citrusy flavor.

4) Grind into powder to use for baking and as meat marinades or salad dressings. 

5)  and many many more depending on your creativity 😀😃😄
