Wash the peels and place them in a saucepan with the chopped lemon zest, broth, spices, juniper, and sage. Once boiling, lower the heat and cook.

Meanwhile , chop the shallots and place them in a small pan with the oil and water. Season lightly with salt and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Increase the heat and let the liquid evaporate. Combine the chopped shallots with the peels and puree with an immersion blender. Add the lemon juice and season with salt.
