Store citron peel in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat, if it is dried. Properly stored, dried citron peel can last for up to a year. If candied, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it can last for several weeks. Ensure the candied peel is covered in syrup to prevent it from drying out. Freezing is not generally recommended as it can alter the texture.
