[Sca-cooks] Citron

[Susan Fox-Davis]

Prime uses are candied peel or scenting homes for happiness and longevity.
You don't need me to give you the general recipe for candied citrus peel.

Snooping around the internet, I see Buddha's Hand Citron Vodka for big
bucks.  It's so easy to make your own infused vodkas, just shred some zest
and leave it in there.  Save big bucks!
