Candied Peel
Dear Aunt Daisy, I wonder if you could send me a recipe for making candied lemon peel. I’ve had some lovely thick-skinned lemons sent me. I once saw a recipe in The Listener, but wasn’t really interested in doing ‘ them, as the peel was then in the shops. "Alfreda," Wellington. This is a very good method, Alfreda, and quite easy:-Cut the skins into quarters, and soak in salt and water for four days. Drain off, and boil the skins in fresh water (no salt) until tender. Now make a syrup of I cup of sugar to 1 cup of water. Put the peel into this and boil till soft. Put it away till next day. Now remove the peel from the syrup, and to that syrup add another cup of sugar and the juice of a lemon, and boil til! it spins a silver thread, and is thick. Pour this over the peel in a flat dish, and gradually dry it off in the oven. Orange peel is very nice done this way.
