Soft-Candied Citrus Peel

1. 1

   ["Wash the fruit thoroughly in warm water. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest in strips about 1"" wide, avoiding the bitter white pith. (If your peeler cuts too deeply, lay the strips, pith side up, on a counter and scrape off any pith with the blade of a knife.) Cut strips lengthwise into slivers the width of a wooden match (about 2-3mm).", "Place the peel into a small saucepan and cover with water by 1-2"" (this is NOT the water called for in the ingredients). Bring to a boil and cook until soft and translucent, 5-6 minutes. Drain.", "Bring 2 c water, sugar and optional corn syrup to a boil in the same saucepan. Add the drained peel, reduce heat to a gentle boil, and cook until peel is translucent, about 20 min (a candy thermometer should read 210u00b0F).", "Let cool, then transfer to a tightly sealed jar and refrigerate."]
