These are heaven, and a hit with my kids. I used lemon rind, and juice of a lemon instead of the orange, and it gave these a beautiful tartness. I also didn’t glaze them just to make freezing for lunch boxes easier.
Thank you for the beautiful recipe. I can’t wait to try this with blackberries too!
