Candied citrus curls are a visually appealing way to prepare citrus peels. They make a charming addition to your culinary creations, especially as an elegant garnish for topping special-occasion cakes and cupcakes. These delicate curls are made by simmering strips of citrus peel in a sugar solution until they become soft and then baking them to achieve the perfect curls. They add a burst of tangy sweetness wherever used, including as a festive treat at Christmastime.
