Once you’ve tasted freshly candied citrus, you’ll never waste your time with the store-bought drudgery.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups
- 7 to 8 assorted citrus, such as navel oranges, lemons, or limes
- 2 cups granulated sugar
Use a sharp knife to remove the peel from the fruit in wide pieces, slicing deep enough to just barely expose the flesh inside. Place the peel on the cutting board with the white side face up and carefully remove about half the pith by slicing horizontally in a sawing motion. Discard the removed pith and save the fruit for juice or snacks.
