Candied Lemon Orange Peel

To candy lemon or orange peel, remove the thin yellow rind from the fruit. Place it in strong salt and water for three days and soak it in clear cold water for twentyfour hours. Then put the peel into a stewpan with plenty of water and let it simmer until it is quite tender. Drain it, put into a bowl and cover with a thick syrup made of two pounds of sugar and a pint of water. Leave it for two hours. Then boil the peel in the syrup until it candies. Place it in a cool oven to dry, and as soon as it is entirely cold, store it in tins lined with parafine paper.
