Candied citrus slices

An easy recipe with tasty results! Unfortunately I couldn't really eat these because the chewiness-sugariness combo triggered my sensitive teeth, but they're very tasted and have a great texture if you get them right. Plus, pretty!



Candied Citrus Slices
some citrus, cleaned and sliced very thin
sugar
water

heat up equal amounts water and sugar in a wide pot, stirring frequently. When it's dissolved, toss in your citrus. Cook until you think it's ready (the sugar should be boiled down to a thick syrup and the fruit will be visibly candied - translucent and glossy. pull out the slices with tongs and set them on a cooling rack over a pan to catch all the drippy sugar. if you want, you can continue to cook the sugar to make a citrus-flavored caramel (add some butter and cream at the end to keep it from hardening).
