Easy Candied Citrus Peels
It’s crucial to blanch the peels 3 times to remove their bitterness. This fruity candy is delicious on its own, but dipping the ends in melted chocolate or thinned royal frosting makes an extra-special treat.

I made these last night. They are not difficult to make @ all. Most of the time involves boiling (which doesn't take that long) & drying. It's not a recipe where one has to stand over the stove, as if making typical hard candy recipes. These are so tasty & pretty. I am adding this to my Christmas collection. I am planning on using the simple syrup in mojito's. Thanks for posting!
Very Easy, but time-consuming. We don't throw away any citrus peels anymore. I find leaving some of the pith allows it to absorb the simple syrup and give it the sweetness it needs.
A lot of work. How long will these keep?
