Candied Orange, Lemon, Citron, And Angelica

Ingredients

• oranges, lemons, citrons, or angelica (whole or sliced)
• water
• sugar

Method

1. 1 Boil the fruit in fresh water. Drain and repeat this process 6-7 times to remove bitterness.
2. 2 Place the fruit in a pot with enough sugar to cover it. Boil gently for 1-2 minutes, then remove the fruit.
3. 3 Dry the fruit in an oven preheated to 350°F (moderate heat) until surface moisture is gone.
4. 4 Return the sugar syrup to the heat and boil until it reaches the hard crack stage (candy height).
5. 5 Quickly dip the dried fruit into the hot sugar syrup, then remove and place on a wire rack or sieve.
6. 6 Dry the coated fruit in a warm oven (300°F) until completely dry and firm.
