Candied Citrus Peel

By vpitts2004

Use a citrus zester to make long very thin ribbons of lemon, orange, lime or grapefruit rind with no pith. Cooked exactly as directed. When done and cool enough to handle, put the candied rind in a small bowl of bakers sugar and toss, separating the rind into individual pieces.
