I have been doing mysterious things with lemon and lime peel of late which left me with several peeled fruit. I am exceptionally good at tucking them in the fridge and rediscovering them resplendent with furry coats. Long past being used they are composted but not this time for I Got My Act Together. Our food wastage is already low but there's always more I can do.Today I've made some lemon jam using this recipe- it's sweet but tart and looks promising.

To add to the Care2 link, they also making cleaning a microwave easier and smell nice too :) Just add peels to a bowl of water, heat up to steamy (oh so technical!) and leave for 20 mins. or so. Wipes out like a dream, even nasty tomatoey sauce splatters.
