Title: Candied Lemon Peel
Categories: Citrus, Chocolate
Yield: 1 Pound
8 lg Lemons
2 c Sugar
2 c Water
1 1/2 c Superfine sugar
1 1/2 c Semisweet chocolate chips
2 tb Shortening
With a sharp knife, score each lemon, cutting peel into four
wedge-shaped sections. Loosen and remove peel with a spoon (save
fruit for another use).
Place peel in a large heavy saucepan and cover with cold water.
Bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Drain and repeat.
Cool for 5 minutes. Carefully scrape off excess pulp from peel. Cut
the peel into 1/4" strips.
In another saucepan, combine sugar and water; cook and stir over
medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add lemon strips. Bring to a
boil. Reduce the heat; simmer, uncovered, for 50-60 minutes or
until peels are transparent, stirring occasionally.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer strips to wire racks placed over a
baking pan. Let stand for 1 hour. Sprinkle superfine sugar into an
ungreased 15x10x1" pan. Sprinkle strips over sugar; toss to coat.
Let stand for 8 hours or overnight, tossing occasionally.
In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until
smooth. Dip one end of each strip into chocolate mixture; place on
waxed paper until set. Store in an airtight container for up to
2 weeks.
