Ingredients
4 tangelos
3/4 cup granulated sugar
Preparation
Step 1
Using a peeler, make long strips of zest about 1/3 inch wide. Place them in a small pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, drain, rinse with cool water, and repeat the process two more times.
Step 2
Place the sugar in a pot and add 1/2 cup water. Add the blanched zest and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and cook very slowly, about 30 minutes, until the liquid becomes thick and syrupy.
Step 3
Store the zest in the syrupy liquid in the refrigerator.
Note
Step 4
This recipe will make more than you need for the cookies, but you can use the excess to garnish other citrus-flavored desserts.
