Have you ever tasted homemade candied citrus peel? It’s a far cry from any store bought version you may have tried in the past, I assure you.<\/p>\n

\"Candied<\/p>\n

This recipe for candied orange peel makes for a somewhat lengthy project (it takes 2 weeks total), but there’s very little actual work involved, and the results are SO worth it. I urge you to give it a try before winter’s really over, while you can still find beautiful citrus.<\/p>\n

\"Candied<\/p>\n

This method for candied peel comes from A Country Cook’s Kitchen<\/a>\"\", a charming book I picked up a few months ago. The author states that candied peel made this way will last for several months in an airtight container, but I am pretty sure my family will eat through ours long before then.<\/p>\n

Though I haven’t tried it, I am pretty sure this method will work for grapefruit peel and lemon peel, as well (I’d use Meyer lemons). You’ll need fewer grapefruits but more lemons if you decide to go either of those routes.<\/p>\n

Recipe for Candied Orange Peel<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
Use organic citrus, if you can; otherwise, clean your fruit well with a produce spray designed to remove chemical and pesticide residues. Though there is a fair amount of sugar in this recipe, not that much of it ends up on the orange peels. Make sure to reserve the orange-infused syrup, though: store it in the refrigerator for a week or two and use it to brighten a cocktail, or mix some with seltzer for an orange soda alternative.<\/span><\/div>\n
