Mom made this often around Christmas Time for us kids. I Remember it fondly. Mom rarely got a grapefruit, for herself. As kids we didn't like them much. But she would freeze the peels off of our oranges to candy at Christmas time.
Candied Orange Peel
Remove the peel from 3 oranges, remove the membranes as much as possible. Cover with water to which 1 teaspoon of salt has been added. Boil for 30 minutes, drain. Cover with fresh water and bring to a boil and boil for 30 minutes or until tender.
Bring to a boil 1 cup of sugar and ½ cup of water, Then add in Orange peels. Boil gently until the syrup is absorbed. Drain, and roll in Sugar. Cut into strips if desired.
If using Lemon or Grapefruit peel, cook in 5 fresh waters before adding to the sugar syrup.
