Picture of Sugar - Tipnut.comStore the Lemon Sugar in an airtight container and refrigerate. Can be used for several months. There is also an Orange Sugar recipe at the bottom.

Recipe #1

3 Lemons
2 Cups Sugar

  • Remove the zest from the lemons using a citrus zester. Roughly chop lemon zest.
  • In a food processor, add 1 cup of the sugar and all the lemon zest. Pulse for a few minutes until the zest has been finely ground.
  • Add the rest of the sugar and toss until well mixed.
  • Spread the lemon sugar in a large pan and let sit until dry, approximately 1 hour.
  • Store in a sealed, airtight container and use as needed. Refrigerate until used.

Recipe #2

3 TBS sugar
3 TBS confectioners sugar
6 drops fresh lemon juice

  • Blend well and use. Can be stored in an airtight container. Refrigerate until used.

Recipe #3

2 1/2 TBS coarsely snipped lemon rind, pith removed (white part)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

  • In a blender add 1/2 cup of the sugar and all the lemon rind. Blend for a few seconds until the peel is finely blended.
  • Add the rest of the sugar and mix well.
  • Store in an airtight container and refrigerate until needed.

Uses:

Add to teas, sprinkle over cookies and use in baking instead of regular white sugar. Also try as toppings for fancy breads.

Gifts:

Place lemon sugar in decorative glass jars and give as gifts. Include a tag with ideas for use as well as the recipe itself if you like.

Alternatives:

You can replace the lemon rind with orange rind if you’d like to make Orange Sugar, also try limes and other citrus fruits.

Tip for the citrus sugars: Grate the peel from all the lemons, oranges, limes, grapefruits (whatever citrus fruit you use) as you eat them. Make into sugar immediately and store it for future use.

Here’s a recipe for Orange Sugar as well:

Orange Sugar

1¼ cup grated orange peel
1 cup sugar

  • Grate the peel from the oranges. Do not remove any of the pith (white part of the skin).
  • Keep the grated peel free from juice.
  • Rub the grated orange peel into the sugar.
