Candied Citrus Peel
Ingredients
- Peel as neatly as you can your favorite citrus fruit. We like
- tangerine. Try to remove all the white pith without tearing the
- peel too much. Cut the peels into very thin strips (julienne).
Instructions
Boil the peels in water baths at least 3 times. This removes the bitterness. When boiled and dry, boil again in a simple sugar syrup for about 20 minutes. Remove peels from syrup with a slotted spoon and drain. Totally cover peels in superfine (castor) sugar and let dry overnight. Seal in airtight containers. These peels last indefinitely. Any sugar that falls off is great in custards or coffee for flavoring.
