Tart ‘N’ Sweet Grapefruit Peel
- 2 large grapefruit
- 2-1/2 cups sugar, divided
- 1-3/4 cups water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- With a sharp knife, score each grapefruit into four wedge-shaped sections. Loosen and remove peel with a spoon (save fruit for another use). Place peel in a heavy saucepan and cover with cold water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain. Repeat process twice, draining each time. Cool for 5 minutes. Carefully scrape excess pulp from peel. Cut into 1/4-in. strips.
- In another saucepan, combine 1-1/2 cups sugar, water, honey and salt. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add grapefruit strips; boil gently for 50-60 minutes or until almost all of the syrup is absorbed and peel is transparent, stirring occasionally (watch carefully to prevent scorching).
- Drain strips in a colander; let stand for 10 minutes. Sprinkle remaining sugar into an ungreased 15x10x1-in. pan. Sprinkle strips over sugar; toss to coat. Let stand for 8 hours or overnight, tossing occasionally. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
