Remove pulp
from fruit so that you just have peel remaining.
Soak orange and lemon peel overnight in cold
water. If using grapefruit rind, soak it in
salted water overnight (1 T. salt w/ 1 quart
water). |

The next
morning, drain peel. Place peel in saucepan and
cover with fresh water. Lemon and grapefruit
peel may be placed together. and should be
brought to a boil three times in cold water,
discarding the old water each time after boiling
for 30 minutes. The orange peel needs only one
change of water and must be brought to boil
twice for 30 minutes. Rind should be tender in
the end. Drain thoroughly. |

Measure ½
cup rind, ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup
water. Keep measuring equal quantities until you
run out of rind. Mix together and let stand
overnight. The next morning, bring to a boil and
cook until clear. Spread out to dry, first
rolling each piece well in granulated sugar. |
