Renshaw’s (Liverpool) Double Cut Peel and Renpeel have a concentrated flavour and citrus aroma, says the company.

They can be used for marbling through batters, incorporating into tray bakes, as a spread for Danish pastries or as an addition to dairy desserts.

Diced into 4mm x 4mm pieces, the Double Cut Peel can be incorporated into batters and doughs, but is large enough to give a fruity bite, says Renshaw. Renpeel is a smooth peel paste made from oranges and lemons with a zesty flavour suitable for biscuits, desserts or blending into a cake batter.

“The fresh taste of citrus fruits, such as oranges and lemons, give that clean, zingy taste and aroma that are so versatile in cake batters, fillings, icings and as decorations,’ says a spokesperson.
