Perfect with an Espresso. A mixture of Citrus rind works
well here, Orange,Tangerine and grapefruit. These store well in an air tight container and can be kept for several days or as long as you can avoid them.

Total of 6 Grapefruit and Orange peel.
1 lb Sugar

Peel the fruit, keeping the peel as intact as possible. Cut peel into strips 1/4 inch thick. Place in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes. Drain. Cover again with cold water and cook for 20 minutes.

While the peel is cooking mix the sugar with 1 cup of water and bring to a boil, remove from heat.

When Peel has cooked and become translucent drain and add to sugar syrup. Bring to a boil,reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.

Using tongs lay out the peels,keeping them separate from each other, place in a cool dry place for a day or two and then coat with sugar.
