The Coconuts Recipe Corner: CANDIED GRAPEFRUIT PEELS

 CANDIED GRAPEFRUIT PEELS

Pascale's Kitchen: Candied citrus peels

This year, instead of throwing away the peels after we eat the fruit, I decided to make candied peels, which can be used to adorn cakes, or be eaten alone as a snack.


CANDIED GRAPEFRUIT PEELS

Makes enough to fill a 1-liter jar.


Ingredients
5 medium grapefruits (yellow or red)
Water to cover
1½ kg. sugar
½ cup lemon juice
¾ cup orange juice
3 cups water


Directions: 

Rinse the grapefruits well. Cut each grapefruit peel into 4 sections. Then cut each section into 2 pieces. 

Place the peels in a pot and pour in water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Drain the water and repeat process twice more. 

Add the sugar, lemon juice, orange juice and water to grapefruit peels. Cook for 2.5 hours. Let cool and transfer peels to a jar.
