Using dried peel in lemon curd

Question

I’m using dried organic Meyer lemon peel in my lemon curd recipe instead of lemon zest. Do I need to reconstitute it before I use it? I’ve never made curd before so any ideas are helpful. Warm Regards

Answer 1

You'll need to grind or puree the peel, and that's going to be much easier once it's reconstituted. So yes, unless your dried peel is granulated (or you have the equipment to grind it while dry) you should reconstitute it.
