Many recipes call for lemon or orange zest. Does anyone know from
experience if the dried lemon or orange peel is notably inferior to
fresh in most recipes?
Some of the upscale spice markets like thehousehouse.com claim their
dried versions are just as good as fresh. I may want to do a taste
test on my own. One idea is to mix each into a small amount of
applesauce. Perhaps there is a better recipe to better taste the
difference between fresh and dried. Thanks

The dried stuff I've used has no resemblance to the real deal. We always
have lemons and usually oranges in the house so it is not a big deal to use
good stuff.
