Grating Lemon Zest to Make Cranberry Sauce

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is David for Expert Village and today we are going to make homemade cranberry sauce. Now that our cranberries are cooking over medium heat in the Port wine we are going to grate some lemon peel. Okay on your hand grater you just want to get the outer part of the lemon into here and I recommend you use the real fine for grated part of this. You see this is really corp for strips so what you want to do is not get any the white part the piff because it is a little bit bitter. So you just want to get the outer part. So you just go like this you see you are just getting the edge, the outer layer of that lemon and you keep turning and you would see it is going to start coming off the back like this. It takes a little while but be patient with it again you don't want to get any of that piff in there because it is bitter. This would be just the nice essence of the lemon it would have all that nice oil from the lemon peel here and it is going to add a fantastic fragrance and taste to your cranberry sauce. "
