CANDIED RIND

 

2 grapefruits or 3 oranges or 6 lemons

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup water

2 tablespoons light corn syrup

Additional granulated sugar

 

Remove rind in large pieces or use rind from fruit that has been squeezed

for juice. Cover rind with cold water; add salt and boil, uncovered, for 20

minutes. Drain and rinse. Cover with fresh water and boil 15 minutes; drain

well. With spoon scrape out any ragged membranes. Cut rind into thin strips.

In large saucepan, mix sugar, water and syrup. Bring to a boil; add rind.

Boil gently, stirring often, until most of syrup is absorbed. Drain a few

pieces at a time; roll in sugar. Spread on waxed paper to dry. Store tightly

covered.
