Using a sharp knife, cut the fruit lengthwise into eighths; then cut off the zest along with a thin layer of the white pith. Slice the peels into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Save the fruit for another use.Put the sliced peels in a 3-quart heavy-duty saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and blanch for 5 minutes.
Drain the peels, cover with fresh water, bring to a boil, and blanch again for 5 minutes. Repeat once more for a total of three blanchings.
In the same saucepan, combine 1-1/2 cups of the sugar and 1 cup of water; bring to a boil over high heat.
加果皮并将热量降低到低。让果皮非常轻轻地慢火煮 - 混合物应该只是稍微冒泡 - 直到它们开始看起来半透明,45至60分钟。偶尔搅拌以确保均匀地剥落糖果并且不要燃烧。
Drain the peels, reserving the syrup for another use. Set a rack over a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Put the remaining 1 cup of sugar in a bowl. Roll the peels in the sugar, shake them in a sieve to remove any excess, and spread them on the rack; let dry for 5 to 6 hours. Once fully dry, store the candied peels in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.
