Making your own orange, lemon, lime zest so easy!

Dried orange, lemon, or lime rind perks up a lot of recipes, but it's very expensive to buy in a jar.

Make your own by grating the rind (not the white part), spreading it out on a freezer proof dish and place it the freezer for 2 or 3 weeks.
This will dry it out and keep it fresh. I put it in a glass container and keep it in the refrigerator, it will keep for at least 6months. If you leave it in the cupboard which is fine, it has to be in a dry cool place.
