Enjoy!! Listen to this episode
Candied Citrus Peels
1 cup citrus peels (orange, lemon, lime, etc), cut into thin strips
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup water
Directions:
1. Place peel strips into a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes longer. Drain and repeat this process two more times.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat sugar and 1/4 cup of water over high heat until boiling. Place peel in sugar mixture, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until sugar is dissolved. Remove peel with a slotted spoon and dry on wire rack overnight. Store in airtight container.
