Directions
Candied Grapefruit Peel, You can subsitute or add orange peel to this recipe This is wonderful to have around the house at holiday time, to have on hand for guests or to wrap for to give as a gift From Gourmet Magazine , Edit: I have made this several times, both with grapefruit & orange peel I just love it My only change is to allow the peel to boil in the water for about 8-10 minutes instead of just 1 minute each time I still repeat it 4 times But that gets rid of so much more of the bitterness Thanks again! ***My Mom sent us a box of grapefruit for our anniversary This is one of the recipes I decided to try Pretty good I like to snack on just a couple every now & then(more than that & you burn your taste buds!) Now that all the work is out of the way, I may see if I can incorporate them into another recipe Thank you very much for the recipe , Great recipe with good directions These little guys are addictive! Thanks for posting the recipe, Bev
