Candied Fruit Peel

Wash and dice peels of lemons, oranges and grapefruits as you collect them and put them in the freezer in freezer-safe containers. When you have peelings from four of each of the fruits, you are ready to start. Slowly bring to a boil one cup of water, 1/4 cup of corn syrup and two cups of sugar for 30 minutes over low heat. Then add the peels and cook for 55 minutes to an hour until all the syrup has been absorbed.

Lay out a large piece of wax paper and sprinkle it liberally with sugar. Put the candied peel on the waxed paper and toss so the peels will be covered. Let it sit for a day or two to dry. The candied fruit peel will then keep indefinitely in the refrigerator. It is so good and easy to make.
