I don't recall where this came from. It's a 4-day holiday
project, but the results are worth it.
Chocolate-dipped candied citrus peel
Halve and remove fruit from 3 grapefruits
3 oranges
Cut peel into uniform 1/2" strips. Pare off
white pith. Put in a saucepan with water enough to
cover. Boil 5 minutes, drain, and repeat. (This
debitters the peels.) Add 2 cups sugar. Cook
until peels are transparent and sugar is absorbed
(about 45 minutes), watching to avoid scorching.
Spread a cookie sheet with 2 1/2 cups sugar. Roll
the peels in sugar. Lay strips skin-side-up on a wire
rack. Put waxed paper over them. Let rest 2-3 days.
Melt in double boiler 3 oz semisweet chocolate
Dip ends of peels into chocolate. Let cool on rack.
Store in an airtight box with waxed paper between layers.
