CANDIED CITRUS PEEL
This recipe is used for candied citrus peel of any type of citrus fruit. I almost always save the peel from any citrus used in my kitchen and then candy the peel. The peel can be frozen for later use, and the peel when candied can also be frozen for later use in its candied form.

 COOKS NOTE*
The ROTATO EXPRESS® is an electric potato peeler. The one I have will run on electricity from a kitchen outlet, or 4 AA batteries.
This is one of the best and lowest priced electric peelers out there. It peels potatoes perfectly as well as carrots, tomatoes, and
most fruits. It works especially well on citrus fruits, removing the peel (zest) and not the white bitter pith beneath the skin.
It removes the skin or peel without any wasteful cutting of edible flesh of the fruit or vegetable. I would be lost in my kitchen
without it.
It will remove the peel of an orange in one neat 4 foot length. It will peel a potato of only the skin, and then in one long strip
which depending on the size of the potato could result in a shoestring strip of potato as long as 6 to 8 feet long. Imagine
frying a filet of fish in that string of potato and then frying it in a potato wrapper. Just one great idea of many more you can
think of.
This great little gadget can be yours for around $25.00 at most stores and at Amazon or E-bay.
