Candied Tangelo Zest

Ingredients

4 tangelos
3/4 cup granulated sugar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Using a peeler, make long strips of zest about 1/3 inch wide. Place them in a small pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, drain, rinse with cool water, and repeat the process two more times.

    Step 2

    Place the sugar in a pot and add 1/2 cup water. Add the blanched zest and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and cook very slowly, about 30 minutes, until the liquid becomes thick and syrupy.

    Step 3

    Store the zest in the syrupy liquid in the refrigerator.

  2. Note

    Step 4

    This recipe will make more than you need for the cookies, but you can use the excess to garnish other citrus-flavored desserts.
