Candied Citrus Peel Recipe

Wash and dry the citrus fruits. Cut off the ends and score the peel into quarters. Carefully remove the peels in quarters.

In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the peels and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.

In the same saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the citrus peels and simmer for 45 minutes or until tender.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peels to a wire rack to cool and dry for about 1 hour.

Once dry, toss the peels with additional sugar to coat.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
