- I make this every Christmas. It is quite easy but has a lot of steps.
- 1. Peel as neatly as you can your favorite citrus fruit. We like tangerine.
- Try to remove all the white pith without tearing the peel too much.
- Cut the peels into very thin strips(julienne).
-
- 2. Boil the peels in water baths at least 3 times. this removes the
- bitterness.
-
- 3. When boiled and dry, boil again in a simple sugar syrup for about 20
- minutes. Remove peels from syrup with a slotted spoon and drain.
-
- 4. Totally cover peels in superfine(castor) sugar and let dry overnight.
- Seal in airtight containers.
-
- These peels last indefineately. and any sugar that falls off is great in
- custards or coffee for flavoring.
- Hope this helps. J
