[Sca-cooks] Looking for Recipes for Seville Orange Peel

One of the things I do when I have fresh Seville oranges is remove only the zest (orange skin)
and leave the white pith.  The white pith is very bitter.  The juice and zest will both freeze and 
will make a very good vinaigrette with olive oil, salt, and sugar or honey.
