CANDIED CITRUS PEELS
Forget the juicy insides. The peel is where citrus's true flavor resides, as these svelte candies prove. Blanching does away with any bitterness, leaving behind only a lingering lilt. The sugary coating and charming wrapping increase the confection's appeal. Get the packaging how-to for Candied Citrus Peels.

Steps:
- Using a paring knife, make 6 slits along curve from top to bottom of each citrus fruit, cutting through peel but not into fruit. Using your fingers, gently remove peel. Reserve fruit for another use. Slice each piece of peel lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Using a paring knife, remove excess pith from each strip and discard.
- Place strips in a large saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then drain. Repeat twice.
- Bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Stop stirring. Wash sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming. Add strips to boiling syrup, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently until strips are translucent, about 1 hour. Remove from heat, and let strips cool in syrup. (Strips in syrup will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 3 weeks.)
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer strips to a wire rack placed on a rimmed baking sheet. Wipe off excess syrup with paper towels, then roll strips in sugar. Arrange in a single layer on a wire rack, and let dry for at least 30 minutes.

Steps:
- With a sharp paring knife, slice off ends of grapefruits, oranges, or lemons. Following curve of fruit, cut away outermost peel, leaving most of the white pith on fruit. Slice peel lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips.
- In a medium pot of boiling water, cook peel until tender, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer peel to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet; spread in a single layer to dry slightly, about 15 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water to a boil over high, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add peel and boil until it turns translucent and syrup thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer peel to wire rack, separating the pieces as needed.
- Let peel dry 1 hour. Toss with 1/2 cup sugar to coat.

Steps:
- Tear out flesh from orange halves, being careful not to create any holes in peels. It's okay if you can't remove all of the pith. Save flesh for another use; cut peels into 1/4" strips.
- Bring orange peels and 4 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan and cook 5 minutes. Drain and return peels to pan. Repeat process twice more, using fresh water each time. Return peels to pan; add 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil and cook until peels are soft and translucent and vibrant looking, 30-40 minutes (about 10 minutes longer for grapefruit, or 10 minutes less for lemons or limes). Drain and transfer peels to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet; chill until cool, about 15 minutes.
- Whisk citric acid and remaining 1 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Add peels; toss to coat. Return to rack; let sit at room temperature 1 hour. Toss peels again in sugar mixture. Return to rack; let sit 4-12 hours to dry out.
- Do Ahead
- Citrus peels can be candied 1 month ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
CANDIED LEMON PEEL
This is a good way to use up lemon rind and it goes good with coffee or on cake. It really does taste like candy, and you can do this to ANY citrus fruit. If you use oranges you can add brandy, cloves or other spices the mixture. Chop it up and put it in cookies, or just eat it by itself.

Steps:
- Cut lemons into slices about 1/4 inch thick and remove the fruit pulp. Cut the rings in half so the peels are in long strips.

JULIA CHILD'S CANDIED CITRUS PEEL
Julia says, these are "...a charming edible decoration for sherbets, puddings, and many fruit desserts. Once made, refrigerate in a covered jar where it will keep for weeks." Adapted from "The Way to Cook," and is used in her "Fresh Lemon Sherbet" recipe. Be sure to use nicely ripe fruit.

Steps:
- With a vegetable peeler, carefully remove the zest from the lemons without getting any of the white pith included. Cut them into julienne strips 1 1/2 inches long and less than 1/8 inch wide.
- In 1 quart of water, simmer the zests for 6 minutes, then drain and rinse in cold water. Set aside.
- Bring the 1/3 cup water to a simmer in a saucepan and add the sugar, stirring until completely dissolved.
- Cover the pan tightly and, as Julia says, "boil for a moment or two, until the last drops of syrup to fall from the end of a metal spoon form a thread." (This part of Julia's recipe is, I understand, a little vague. Yet sometimes cooking requires the actual experience to really know, and perhaps this is one of those times.).
- Remove saucepan from the heat, stir in the peel and let steep for an hour.
- Use in the "Fresh Lemon Sherbet" recipe or store in the refrigerator in a covered jar where it will keep for weeks.
- Makes one batch of candied zests for the 12 servings of sherbet.

CANDIED CITRUS PEEL
This is a delicious way to use the peels of citrus after they've been juiced. Candied peel, either plain or dipped in chocolate, makes a zesty ending for a meal. Candy only unsprayed, organic citrus fruit.
Number Of Ingredients 2
Steps:
- Cut 2 grapefruits, 8 lemons or tangerines, or 4 medium oranges in half. Juice them; drink the juice or save it for another purpose. Put the juiced halves in a saucepan and cover with cold water by an inch or so. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer until the peel is very tender when tested with the point of a paring knife. Start checking after 10 minutes. Let the peel cool until it can be handled easily. With a spoon, scrape out the pulp and as much of the white part of the rind as possible. Cut the peel into long strips, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch wide. Put the strips of peel in a heavy saucepan. Add: 4 cups sugar, 2 cups water.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring the mixture often, until the sugar is dissolved and the syrup is simmering. (If there is not enough syrup to completely submerge the strips of peel, add additional sugar and water in the same two-to-one proportions.) Maintain the heat so the syrup simmers slowly. Cook until the peel looks translucent and the syrup is thick and bubbling. Turn up the heat and cook the syrup to the thread stage (the syrup will form a thread when it is dropped from the spoon), 230°F measured with a candy thermometer. Remove the pan from the heat and cool for 5 minutes.
- Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and carefully scoop out the strips of peel with a small, flat strainer or slotted spoon. Spread the strips evenly on the cooling rack and let them dry overnight. The next day toss the strips of candied peel with granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl, separating any strips that stick together. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Candied peel will keep for months. Save the syrup to flavor drinks or thin with water and use it to poach dried fruits.
