Ingredients
Instructions
-
Use a vegetable peeler to carefully remove the peel from the oranges, lemon, and lime, avoiding the white pith underneath.
-
Slice the citrus peels into thin strips. Optionally, curl the strips into spiral shapes using a knife.
-
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
-
Add the citrus peels to the saucepan, reduce heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes to soften the peels and infuse syrup.
-
Remove the peels with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack to cool and dry for a few hours or overnight until tacky but not sticky.
-
Roll the dried citrus peels in additional sugar until evenly coated.
-
Serve as garnish or snack. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
