Crystal grapefruit peel
Overview
I like to eat grapefruit, but every time I see the thick and fragrant grapefruit peel, I just throw it away, which is a pity. I have been looking for a way to make grapefruit peel for a long time, and tried several times. It was either too bitter or too dry, and a lot of sugar was wasted, but I couldn't get the effect that others made. But as the saying goes, failure is the mother of success, and today I finally succeeded! My old man said it was fragrant and sweet! ! ! !

Ingredients
Steps
-
Prepare the ingredients: one grapefruit, white vinegar, white sugar, lotus root starch and appropriate amount of water.
-
First, wash the grapefruit skin with salt; use a paring knife to hang off the grapefruit skin; cut the peeled grapefruit skin into shreds (my experience is that it is as wide as potato strips. If it is too thick, it will not rot easily; if it is too thin, it will be inconvenient to eat.); soak the cut grapefruit skin in salt water. Change the water every two hours, soak twice, and then rinse with hot water. Soak in water overnight. (This step is very important. It must be soaked and washed several times to remove the bitter smell and the wax dirt on the skin that has not been wiped clean).
-
Put two tablespoons of water into the bread machine, about just enough to make the grapefruit peel (be sure not to use too much water. Too much water will not make it easy to fry the grapefruit peel to be transparent and tasty.); add four teaspoons of sugar; then put the soaked grapefruit peel in (you don’t have to drain the water from the grapefruit peel, keep some); then sprinkle four teaspoons of sugar and two tablespoons of lotus root starch on top. Select the jam function of the bread machine to start. It's ready in about 1 hour. The finished grapefruit peel is transparent, and the sugar and lotus root powder have a stringy feel. Take out the prepared grapefruit peel candies while they are hot and store them in a clean glass vessel.
