Step by step recipe:
1 Scrub very thoroughly 2 grapefruits, organic if possible. to remove any traces of wax or other products from the skin. Trim off top and bottom of each grapefruit, then make four cuts through peel. |  |
2 Peel grapefruits gently, you should have 4 equal sized pieces of peel per grapefruit. |  |
3 Use the grapefruit flesh for another recipe, fruit salad for exemple. Cut each piece of peel into strips about 0.5 cm or ¼ inch wide. |  |
4 Put these strips in a bowl, cover with cold water and leave overnight. Next day, change water and leave about 4 hours longer. |  |
5 Drain peel strips and weigh them. Then put in a pan with their weight in sugar, and their weight in water (if possible filtered or mineral to avoid the chlorine taste). |  |
6 Cook slowly over gentle heat until there is hardly any liquid left. |  |
7 Drain peel and allow to cool a little (they should still be warm). |  |
8 Spread out on a non-stick tray. Leave overnight or longer, until they become a bit firm (to your taste). |  |
9 Then roll in a little caster sugar with a fork to coat them lightly. Keep in an airtight container. |  |

It's possible to use other citrus fruit: oranges, lemons, limes and clementines.Recipes which use it: 3
