Cut peel of each orange and lemon into 4 sections with sharp knife. Remove
peel carefully with fingers. Scrape white membrane from peel with spoon
(back of peel will appear porous when membrane is removed). Cut peel
lengthwise into strips about 1/4 inch wide. Heat peel and enough water to
cover to boiling in 1 1/2-quart saucepan; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 30
minutes; drain. Repeat simmering process.
Heat 1 1/2 cups sugar and 3/4 cup water to boiling in 1 1/2-quart saucepan,
stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Stir in peel. Simmer
uncovered, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes; drain in a strainer. Roll in 1/2
cup sugar; spread on waxed paper to dry. Store tightly covered at room
temperature no longer than 1 week.
