3If you keep some flesh of fruits with skins because you have peel fruit completely, don't remove it, actually it's better.Candied grapefruit peel : etape 25
4Put these strips in a pan, cover with cold water and leave overnight.

Next day, change water and leave about 4 hours longer.

Note: We do that because we want to remove excessive bitter of skins.
