Comment préparer Candied Lemon Orange Or Grapefruit Peel

Wash the lemons, oranges, and grapefruits thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler, carefully remove the outer peels, avoiding the white pith as much as possible. The pith can make the candied peel bitter.
Cut the peels into thin strips (about 1/4 inch wide).
Place the peel strips in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to remove any bitterness. Change the water a few times.
Drain the peels and rinse well.
In a large saucepan, combine the water, sugar, corn syrup (if using), and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the drained peels to the boiling syrup. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45-60 minutes, or until the peels are tender and translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the peels from the syrup with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, prepare your next step by spreading granulated sugar on a clean surface.
Toss the slightly cooled peels generously in the granulated sugar until evenly coated.
Spread the candied peels in a single layer on the wire rack to dry completely. This may take several hours or even overnight.
Store the candied citrus peels in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for several weeks.
