Candied Lemon Peel Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 4)
Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2006
My favorite candied citrus peel is grapefruit, where you actually WANT the white part. To avoid bitterness, bring cold water and peel to a rolling boil. Drain. Repeat. For orange peel, I might do this one or two times; for grapefruit, 6 or 7. Taste it. When the peel is tender, cook it in the sugar syrup. It should be almost translucent. It keeps for weeks (months?) refrigerated – store it in syrup to keep it from drying out. I love this stuff. I candy my own orange & lemon peels for fruitcakes and other desserts.

Delicious! I used a veggie peeler to get only the yellow portion of the lemon peel. This resulted in tender strips of peel. I minced the finished candied lemon peel and added it to the Lemon Icing recipe from this site. Yummy!!

I made it exactly as said. I ended up with bitter peels and bitter simple syrup.

YUCK! I cut all the white inner layer out and it was still bitter tasting and it was no where near tasting like candy. I followed the recipe exactly as it was written.

In a hurry making a gingerbread cake for the holidays and stumbled across this recipe ... it was quick and easy and garnished the cake perfectly ..... with a lil lemon curd sauce on the side . It was wonderful.
