Candied Citrus Peel 2
Categories: New | Text | ImportServes: 1 Servings
Ingredients:
- 10 Navel oranges
- 5 Grapefruit or 14 lemons
- 6 c Sugar
- Chocolate Dipping Sauce,
- -(recipe follows)
Instructions:
Make 6 lengthwise incisions (top to bottom) in fruit peel. Separate fruit
from peel, reserving fruit for another use. In a pot of boiling water, add
peels, return to a boil, boil 30 seconds, drain, and rinse under cold
water. Repeat 2 times to remove bitterness. Return peel to pot, add 4 cups
of the sugar and 2 cups of water. Bring to a slow boil and simmer gently
for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. With tongs remove peel from
syrup and drain, skin-side up, on a wire rack, 1 hour. In a bowl, toss peel
with remaining 2 cups sugar until evenly coated. Transfer to a wax
paper-lined baking sheet. Set in a cool, dry place overnight to harden.
Store in tightly-fitted jars for up to 2 weeks. Dipped in Chocolate Sauce
if desired. Cool in refrigerator until chocolate sets, about 1 hour.
Makes 90 to 144 pieces
