Hey you two. I tried this your way and Jen’s this weekend. I like the more intense flavor of the peel alone, and using less sugar, but the peel really curls up when it’s cooking. That’s not *really* a problem, but it doesn’t look like yours and it takes a long time (days!) for them to dry because they get syrup trapped in the rolled-up parts. Any suggestions?

More important, do you think I can re-use the simple syrup from one batch to make another batch? The Sergeant brought me a giant bag of Meyer lemons.

Wow! This recipe is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I love candied citrus peel but what a time consuming, tedious job. I was thinking by using a vegetable peeler I could eliminate all the boiling and scraping and I found your recipe. Can’t wait to try it. I live in a neighborhood full of citrus trees and always have an extra bag handy for lemons oranges, etc. when I’m walking my dogs. I will let you know how my attempt works out if I can figure out how . Not very computer savvy. Thanks in advance, Melinda

This looks so simple but handy to have. Once we move to our new place, I think I’m going to make some too. I bet it’d be great in a sazerac or old fashioned.

I came back to let you know that I used your tips to candy my first lemons for a photo last week, backing TWD coconut thins and I linked you because your technique was described too beautiful to repeat. Thanks again.

these look like they could make some many things beautiful. Plus I love to eat sugared citrus peel.

Great photos! I love the combination of colors. Almost reminds me of a pack of skittles (minus the purple ones).
