The Sugary Secret Behind Candied Citrus Peels

Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries orange, and, for that matter, lemons were confections in their own right, particularly the peel. Martha Washington’s cookbook contains a recipe for sugared peels that were boiled repeatedly until the bitterness was more or less knocked out of them and a sugary coating had formed. As a candy, peels are typically crystalized or candied into what is commonly called a “glace.” For more on the wonders of glacé fruits read on.
