     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.
