Dried Clementines~

This is the time of year for Clementines~
They are abundant in all the grocery stores now and pretty reasonably priced. Besides being Yummy, Clementines are very easy to dry. I dry the peels on the ones that we are going to eat, and for the fruit that's gotten older, I will dry them whole.



I'll layer the clementines on a tray and place them near the woodstoves. Very rustic! Once they are completely dried, store them in a glass jar.



These look beautiful in my NEW Lavender-Mandarin Potpourri!!

  2. This is beautiful! I would never have thought to couple clementines with lavender. Great idea! And I'll bet it smells divine when placed close to the fire :)

  3. That is an idea! I eat them everyday. Putting the peels by fire to dry, I shall have to try.
