Ingredients

• 2 grapefruits
• 1 cup sugar, plus additional sugar

Directions

• 1 Quarter grapefruits and remove the fruit, leaving the white pith. Cut each quarter of peel into half-inch strips.
• 2 Place peels in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring water to a boil, let it boil for a minute, drain and repeat for a total of 4 times.
• 3 After the last drain, return peels to saucepan. Sprinkle 1 cup sugar over peels and fill saucepan with just enough water to cover grapefruit. Bring to a simmer and lower heat, keeping it at a gentle, low simmer for 2 hours. After that, a lot of the water will be absorbed and what’s left should be syrupy.
• 4 Line a baking tray with wax or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top. Use a slotted spoon and transfer peel to the rack. Let peel dry 2 to 4 hours.
• 5 When ready to serve, roll peels in additional sugar (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup).
