Making Your Own Candied Citrus Peel

Orange, lemon and grapefruit work the best. Limes tend to turn a dark colour and are unattractive when candied. This is my recipe after trying several different recipes and adapting them to what I think makes a good candied peel. The corn syrup in this recipe prevents the large sugar crystals from forming while the completed peel cools. I squeeze the juice first so nothing is wasted. These are finished by tossing in fine granulated sugar.

Mother's Day: Homemade Hand Scrub

As a result, I suffer from very dry skin. Living in a dry climate doesn’t exactly help with that either. I’ve tried all kinds of lotions, but when it comes down to it, I realized that the lotions don’t have a lot of time to do much good when I’ll be washing my hands again in five minutes. What I needed was something that moisturized as I washed my skin, rather than removing the much-needed natural oils. First, you will need to gather your ingredients.

Cooking Debauchery: Candied Citrus Peel. At my local farmer's market I cam upon a most explosively good discovery.

Cooking Debauchery: Candied Citrus Peel

Yellow grapefruits. I was specifically surprised because the fruit stand where they came from is not particularly good. Their fruit is average at best. But these fantastic little jewels were pure gold. From their butter-yellow flesh to their lemony rind. The problem was... Or are there? With citrus fruit we talk about using the zest and the juice and sometimes even the pulp, though rarely, but we rarely use the rind. I LOVE google. And in fact many before me had thought of the same thing. One obvious answer is that grapefruit is, in and of itself, somewhat bitter. The next part of every recipe was, by necessity, the process of infusing the rind with sugar. Now normally I prefer to give credit where credit is due, but I could find no single recipe that seemed to make sense to me. Candied Citrus Peel Scrape all of the flesh and membranes from the fruit rind. Bring syrup and rind to a boil and reduce heat to very low.
