Ingredients
- 1 tbsp salt to 1 qt
- salt
Directions
Slice, peel and cover with water, adding 1 tbsp salt to 1 qt. water. Leave over night. In morning drain and place peel in saucepan, a little more than covering it with fresh water, and boil gently for 4 hours. Drain, add cold water as before, and boil till tender. Again drain, weigh peel, and add equal weight sugar and 1 ec water to each pound. Boil gently 1 hour with saucepan covered. Remove cover and let simmer till syrup is all absorbed, taking care not to burn. Spread on platter and leave 24 hours, or until it seems fairly dry; then roll each piece in fine granulated sugar, shaking off the sugar to prevent caking. Let stand few hours to dry; then place in covered jar.
