Candied Grapefruit Peels

This came from a variety of recipes. However it is very humid here so in the end I needed to use the drier/dehydrator to make the candied peels less sticky which was not in any of the recipes.

Cover in water in saucepan and bring to a boil, then put in colander to drain water
  • Grapefruit peels from when a grapefruit has been sliced into 12 parts from about 2-4 grapefruits

While grapefruit peels are draining, bring to a boil in frypan/wide shallow pan until clear
  • 2 parts water
  • 1 part sugar

Then add drained grapefruit so it is covered by above sugar syrup. Bring to a boil, then lower to simmer and cook until liquid cooks down and is absorbed by the grapefruit peel.

Put on dryer rack. See if it dries overnight.
If not dry, dehydrate in drier about 2 hours each side. (Turn peels over 1/2 way through drying process). Should only be very slightly sticky.

Roll in sugar and store in fridge.
