Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. Water
  2. 1 cup sugar
  3. Cut

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Cut the rind in narrow strips, scald, then soak for 3 days, changing water each day.
  2. Boil till tender, squeeze dry, and to 2 cups rind put 1 cup sugar.
  3. Cook till done, then roll each piece in dry sugar, and you will have a dainty dish of crystalized fruit.
