candied peel for hot cross buns
Hi,
I know I'm waiting til the last moment for this...and should have been enjoying hot cross buns for the last week or two instead of just drooling over JH's and FoolishPoolish's recipes.
Well, I'm trying to actually get down to it and am struggling to find candied peel (lemon, orange or combo). It's always readily available at Christmas time, but I can't even find it in grocery stores that bake their own hot cross buns.
Where have you folks been finding it? I've definitely left it too long for mail-order, so am looking for a possible local solution.
I'm in the greater Boston area, so if someone in Boston has found it recently.
Thanks!
