I just tried making these and I have a couple tips: 1. Don't cook your lemons too long lol. I did because I thought they looked great, but it wasn't "long enough," so I kept going. Go more by how they look than the actual time, especially if you are making more or less than the recipe. (Same for oranges, but the timing worked for me on those.) The glassy look and the syrupy liquid is what you want. That said, I'm pretty sure my lemons are still going to come out great, just a little chewier 2. The recipe doesn't say what to do with the liquid after, but you can totally save and use it! If you continue cooking the sugar syrup (now citrus flavored) down, you will basically turn it into candy. when it gets thick and bubbly and starts to brown, you can spoon it out onto parchment paper and let it cool into little lozenges like hard candies. Don't throw away good food! 3. In my oranges, I used half white sugar, half brown sugar and threw in a few cloves. Smelled *amazing*. After removing the slices, I simply poured the remaining syrup into a jar to save. You likely won't have to refrigerate it, as the sugar content will be high enough to preserve it. But I gave it a taste, and dang. It will be so good on pancakes, ice cream, yogurt - whatever you want. Or you can save to use for a future dessert. The whole process took a good amount of time, but is not difficult at all. Highly recommend!

Great tips. Thank-you!

[@vincer7824]

What is the purpose in boiling them in water the first time?

[@msr1116]

First boil extracts bitterness from pith.

[@Serai3]

It occurs to me you could mix small-leaf herbs like thyme into the syrup when it gets thick enough to spoon onto the parchment. Thus making the flavor more complex.

[@vincer7824]

@@msr1116 Yeah that makes sense, thank you.

[@joe9743]

You can make something similar with ginger, and the syrup leftover is great with some seltzer water to make ginger ale

[@garyknight2084]

Great dipped in dark chocolate!

[@terriberry9401]

great idea!! Maybe sprinkled with a few salt flakes, too.

[@JacknVictor]

As a kid, these were christmas to me. The lime ones were my favourite.

[@JacknVictor]

Yes. They have been candied and are edible. Orange and lemon and lime peel are also a cooking ingredient that you find in baked goods such as panettone and mince pies. Most of the flavour in those fruits are in the peel itself rather than the flesh inside the fruit.

[@Inigo_The_Son]

@JacknVictor As I watched the video, I thought to myself, "I bet this would be great with limes." 😄

[@r1verman]

I can only imagine how great making these would make the house smell. I love candied fruit.

[@ARCSTREAMS]

wonder if the water used to boil them can be used somehow? perhaps even as a flavored water cold from the fridge i would think all the minerals,vitamins and bitters extracted by the water would not only give it a good taste but its good for you like those specialty smart water or seltzers they sell

[@joeluckett7010]

it wouldn’t really be good for you because of all the sugar but it would definitely make a great natural flavored syrup for drinks

[@ARCSTREAMS]

My mother used to make candied peel. I like the look of the slaces.

[@user-xx6uj5be5l]

Candied fruits are not placed on a grate, but in powdered sugar and the syrup is boiled in the same water in which the fruits were cooked.

[@nowirehangers2815]

Many different ways sweetheart

[@user-xx6uj5be5l]

@@nowirehangers2815 There are many ways, but there is one algorithm of action, one technology, it is thousands of years old, when there was no sugar, honey was used. Breaking the technology, making illogical changes to it, nothing good will ever happen. And yes, I am a grandfather in his seventh decade, I have been making candied fruits for more than 50 years, in various ways, but I do not violate the technology.😀

[@RPSubliminal]

​@@user-xx6uj5be5lThank you grandpa. I was looking for an alternative for sugar in this recipe. Honey is a fantastic healthy choice 😍.

[@solanisomeni]

@@user-xx6uj5be5l I don't throw the water/sugar/syrup away after removing the fruit. I let it boil down slightly to make it thicken more and jar it up for orange/lemon/fruit jelly... There is a tremendous amount of flavor in that syrup. No sense in wasting it.

[@it-s-a-mystery]

​@@user-xx6uj5be5lYou don't experiment, innovate or explore? I am sure you make nice candied fruit, but these are not things to celebrate.

[@historylover1679]

I make candied orange and lemon peel at Christmas - and this is done very much the same way. I did try saving the sweet syrup after I was done to add to tea- it wasn’t as tasty as I expected it would be. But now since I’m seeing something about this again I wonder if it would be good adding to carbonated water that so popular now - I’ll give it a try next time I make this Christmas candy! It a long messy process but the results are so good especially if you drizzle chocolate over the orange peels!

[@MasterGhostf]

could try is adding, orange/lemon extract to the syrup to boost its flavor a bit.

[@nyrockchicxx]

If you keep them in a jar separately the orange syrup can be great like a honey into your tea. But it IS very light flavored and you might have to add some add'l sugar. I always save the syrup after making these. I've never done the lemon but I feel inspired.

[@renel7303]

Try using grapefruit peel sliced about ½" wide. I like cooking it until it's still a bit soft and jelly like. Dip one end in dark chocolate. It was even better than the orange.

[@indiareiss434]

I have some citrus I can't wait to try this with, Im going to try lemon organic and grapefruit

[@Trund27]

[@TheShadowMan.]

Melt dark chocolate and dip the orange candies. So good

[@jusjoshandthemic]

Great video. If we wanted to make thicker cuts (say, an inch) would we just increase the amount of water and sugar to give it more time to be candied all the way through? Appreciate the video and any feedback as well.

[@toothsomerecipes]

Thank you for those kind words! Would prefer to have the slices not too thick. It takes time to get cooked, at the same time to get dried too. Makes the process more difficult.

[@kitkakitteh]

Makes it impossible, they would likely mold inside before they dried.

Are they still sour at all? I wonder if a little citric acid with the sugar at the end would be good.

[@sophiew1967]

PS gorgeous acoustic guitar music

[@flygirlfly]

Blanching the citrus is important. Otherwise, the fruit will be bitter. Can add a drop of food coloring to make them brighter. Use sparkling sugar for the second time.

[@historylover1679]

You’re so right - I blanch the peel in clean water, bring to a boil for 15 min 6 times before I finally make the syrup. Yes getting rid of the bitter makes them delicious- it’s faster if you don’t but the results is great!

[@nyrockchicxx]

@@historylover1679 Why not just boil them for an hour instead of `15 minute intervals? BTW part of their appeal is the little pop of bitter orange. It's like having marmalade.

[@michelez715]

Looks a gorgeous recipe, but in the 20 years I've lived in France, I've never seen granulated sugar. They have a very fine caster sugar, icing sugar, one type of brown sugar (as opposed to about half a dozen types in the UK), and sometimes preserving sugar, and sugar cubes.
