Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. With a sharp paring knife, slice off ends of the fruit. Following curve of fruit, cut away outermost peel, leaving mot of the white pith on fruit. Slice peel lengthwise into 1/4 inch wide strips.
  2. In a medium pot of boiling water, cook peel until tender, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer peel to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet; spread in a single layer to dry slightly, about 15 minutes.
  3. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water to a boil over high, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add peel and boil until it turns translucent and syrup thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer peel to wire rack, separating the pieces as needed.
  4. Let peel dry 1 hour. Toss with 1/2 cup sugar to coat. (To store, keep in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 3 weeks.)
