Candied Grapefruit Peel - cooking recipe

Ingredients

peel from 3 medium grapefruit
water
2 c. sugar
1 c. water
tinted sugar

Preparation

Grapefruit directions:
Cut peel from grapefruit; cut peel into strips.
Add cold water to cover strips of peel.
Cover and bring to boil; boil 5 minutes.
Drain and repeat 3 times (this removes bitterness).
Add sugar and 1 cup water to drained peel.
Bring to boil and boil gently over low heat until syrup is thick and almost absorbed by peels, stirring occasionally.
Drain on absorbent paper.
Roll in tinted sugar while still hot so sugar will stick to peels.
