Candied Tangelo Zest
- 4 tangelos
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- Using a peeler, make long strips of zest about 1/3 inch wide.
- Place them in a small pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil.
- Boil for 1 minute, drain, rinse with cool water, and repeat the process two more times.
- Place the sugar in a pot and add 1/2 cup water.
- Add the blanched zest and bring to a boil.
- Turn the heat to low and cook very slowly, about 30 minutes, until the liquid becomes thick and syrupy.
- Store the zest in the syrupy liquid in the refrigerator.
- This recipe will make more than you need for the cookies, but you can use the excess to garnish other citrus-flavored desserts.
