This is THE recipe for candied citrus peels! We did a head-to-head tasting of these and "Sweet Candied Orange and Lemon Peel" and these won by a landslide. I've done it using both grapefruit and oranges and it turned out tasty both times. Changing the water three times allows you to really get the bitterness out of the pith (we like our peels a little chewy) and makes the peels beautifully translucent. I ramped it up a bit and rolled it in sugar after it had dried for 3 hrs and it was awesome! I also like the idea of coating it in chocolate as one reviewer did.

This was good, but the recipe called "Candied Citrus Peel" was better. Changing the water a few times really cuts the bitterness in any remaining pith, and makes the peel more translucent.

We loved it! My 3yo daughter munched them like they were licorice. The family was about evenly split on the dressing, so feel free to try the recipe without it. I also tried grilling the asparagus and it was awesome. Definitely doing this one again.
