Canned citrus paste for cakes and salads: how to make this versatile preserve

Citrus notes perfectly complement desserts and even any salad. So it's a great idea to make a versatile lemon and orange paste instead of cream and dressing. The preserve is stored for a long time if it is put in a glass jar.

The idea of making citrus paste from oranges and lemons is published on the yummy_food_uaa cooking page on Instagram. You only need 3 ingredients.

• 500 g oranges
• 1 lemon (130 g)
• 350 g of sugar
