Before Christmas orders completely take over our lives we have diced and candied mixed citrus peel ready for your early Christmas baking.

The backstory to our citrus peel. Our aim at Singing Magpie is to bring you the best that we can grow and produce from the Riverland. Intrinsically linked to this is minimising our waste and being more efficient and sustainable in how we use and value the land that we farm on.

Introducing our mixed candied citrus peel. Think about our citrus slices that don't quite make the A grade slice, potentially waste but in our eyes there is such a different story to tell. I've been wanting to create this product for you for a long while but it is a process of time and labour. It takes time some five hours to dice, remove the bitterness from the pith, candied in a sugar syrup (no other preservatives are used) and then drained. But oh my goodness is a beautiful culmination of patience. The final product is like glistening citrus jewels, so delicate and fragrant. Perfect to nibble on but of course the perfect baking ingredient.

If you are looking for recipes on what you use your ultimate baking bundle of goodies for here is a running list of my current favourites:

• UPDATED RECIPES 18 July 2024: 

  • Yesterday I made Sophie Hansen's baked porridge recipe, changing is up a bit by including apple (2 cups), rhubarb (1 cup), our diced fruit mix ( 3/4 cup) and a dash of sticky quince syrup. Here's is Sophie's recipe to have a go. 
    
  • Eccles Cakes from Darren Purchese, expert guest on Masterchef and a judge on The Great Australian Bake Off. You can see my reel here where I used our diced fruit mix, these cakes were a total dessert pleaser, especially with the kids.
  • the Ultimate Rhubarb Fruit Crumble Oh my goodness the tang… sharpness.. texture… sweetness and spice was pretty perfect. You can check out my reel here to see how I assembled the crumble layers and my rather loud excitement upon serving.
  • Our Fig and Orange mincemeat  which might be a Christmas favourite but try folding the fruit mince through vanilla ice-cream, it's a winner all year round.
  • The popular Mrs T's very lovely boiled fruitcake recipe.
  • My take on Emiko Davies Italian bread pudding (pinza di pane) and also her sensational Pan Del Doge Di Zaira (Zaira's Fruit Cake). In both recipes I replaced the fruit listed with the equivalent weight of our diced fruit mix. Stunning.
  • Dried fruit and orange scrolls
  • A crowd favourite Chocolate Fruit and Almond Protein balls
  • The utterly glorious STICKY FRUIT PUDDING WITH SALTED CARAMEL & COCONUT TOPPING. This recipe will knock you socks offer. A total delight from a Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh recipe with my little twists added to include our diced dried fruit and sticky quince syrup (because they are a flavour match made in heaven).

  The other suggestion is to simply eat the fruit mix as IS for an afternoon snack. DELICIOUS.

Storage

We recommend keeping your diced fruit and candied peel in the fridge or freezer.
