1

Prepare the Citrus Peels

Start by carefully peeling the citrus fruits of your choice. Ensure that you remove the peels in large strips, avoiding any pith. Cut the peels into small, thin strips.

2

Blanch the Citrus Peels

Place the citrus peels in a pot of boiling water and let them simmer for 10 minutes. This will help to remove any bitterness from the peels.

3

Drain and Repeat

Drain the blanched peels and repeat the blanching process two more times. This will further reduce the bitterness and help to soften the peels.

4

Make the Citrus Syrup

In a separate pot, combine equal parts water and sugar. Add the blanched citrus peels to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes, until the syrup thickens.

5

Dry the Candies

Using a slotted spoon, remove the citrus peels from the syrup and place them on a wire rack. Allow them to dry for at least 24 hours, or until they become firm and slightly tacky.

6

Coat the Candies

Once the citrus peels are dry, you can coat them in sugar for an extra burst of sweetness. Toss them in a bowl of granulated sugar until they are fully coated.
