π Recipe adapted from RecipeNLG-Full
Remove peel from 3 large oranges or grapefruit.
Cut peel into long strips, 1/4 inch wide.
Place in 2 quart saucepan; cover with water and bring to boil over full heat; drain.
Cover with more cold water and repeat the cooking and draining process 3 more times.
Cover again with water and cook peel for 15 minutes after water reaches boiling point.
Drain thoroughly.
Add 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 1/2 cups water and cook over low heat until syrup almost evaporates, about 45 minutes.
Watch continuously so that peel doesn't stick and scorch.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar on breadboard. (I usually have to add more)
Lift peel out and place on sugared board.
Mix until all sides are thickly coated with sugar.
Dry on cake rack.
Yield: 1 1/2 cups peel.
