If I don't need the zest for the current recipe, I freeze the zest for later use. This way I always have some on hand when I need it.EPMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00177275812171665563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24492354.post-23222570703216235832007-04-25T17:29:00.000-05:002007-04-25T17:29:00.000-05:00Wow...such good ideas.

Then, I slice the rinds into strips and freeze them also.
