Candied Grapefruit Peel

Features:
    Cuisine:

    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.
