Keep a little on hand to use In pince of citron In cakes, nnd to serve nt holiday parties. The method is the Mme with all three kinds of peel. Thick, soft, un­ blemished peel from smooth fruit Is best, according to tlie bureau of home economics. Strip the peel from the fruit in even sections, including Just as much of the white part as you can. Cut the peel Into strips about a fourth or a half inch wide. Weigh it and allow two quarts of cold water for each ten ounces. Phrboil the peel three times. half nn hour each time, in this amount of water, to make it tender. Discard the water after each cooking. Handle the strips very gently at the Inst or you will break them. The next step In the process con­ sists of boiling the peel In a sirup until It Is practically all absorbed. If you have ten ounces of peel, select a saucepan about eight Inches In di­ ameter. and put into it two cupfuls or fourteen ounces of granulated sugar, 1 1-3 cupfuls of water, and one- half teaspoonful of salt. Bring this to a boil, and when the sugar Is dis­ solved lay the strips parallel to each other in the saucepan, so they can be turned easily. Boil them rapidly for twenty minutes, then reduce the heat Toward the end of the cooking the strips must be carefully turned from time to time, so that the sirup pene- trates ench piece equally. Cook untll the sirup Is all absorbed, from forty to sixty minutes or longer. Watch the pan constantly to prevent scorch­ ing. Lift the strips out on waxed paper and cool. Roll In granulated sugar until there Is a coating of distinct crystals, but not a heavy crust. Dry out for a few hours, then wrap In waxed paper and store In tightly covered tin or glass containers. If you leave tlie peel In paper boxes ft tends to become hard and crusty In winter sad sticky In summer.
