Grapefruit trees grow in the South.  I used to have a grapefruit tree at the house we lived in early in our marriage.  It was such a novelty to me, a native of Pennsylvania, that I would harvest the fruit just before the first frost and send them north and to the Midwest.

A neighbor gave me this recipe for Grapefruit Peel Candy.   This is a fun, old-fashioned recipe to try.

     Enjoy,

Grapefruit Peel Candy

You'll need:

  • 3 washed and peeled grapefruit
  • 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • Water

Soak the peel in several inches of salt water in a saucepan.  Use enough water to cover the peel.

Drain and add fresh water.

Gently boil the peel for two hours to soften it.

Drain and add more fresh water.

Boil for another two hours.

Drain, add water and boil a third time.

Drain and cool the peel on a rack.

Cut it into strips.

Mix 1/2 cup cold water with 11/2 cups of sugar.

Boil the water and then add the peel.  Keep a soft boiling going and the liquid will eventually evaporate and be absorbed by the peel.

When the liquid is gone, roll and cover the peel in sugar while it's still warm.

Cool on a rack until dry.
