There are lots of nutrition in the rind of most fruits, and it\u2019s perfectly edible. Grated citrus peel adds zest to many recipes, but you can also turn the peels into a natural candy that\u2019s all-delicious with no bitterness (the secret is to blanch the peels multiple times before sweetening them). They\u2019re great on their own or dipped in melted dark chocolate for an elegant dessert chock full of health benefits.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pittmandavis.com\/ruby-red-grapefruit\/c\/ft_1001_2\/\">Pittman &amp; Davis Rio Ruby\u2122 Red Grapefruit<\/a><\/li>\n<li>2 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pittmandavis.com\/navel-oranges\/c\/ft_1001_5\/\">Pittman &amp; Davis Navel Oranges<\/a><\/li>\n<li>2 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pittmandavis.com\/tangerines\/c\/ft_1001_8\/\">Pittman &amp; Davis Sunburst Tangerines<\/a><\/li>\n<li>3\u2153 c. organic granulated sugar, divided<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Directions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>From top to bottom, score grapefruit peel in six equal strips and orange and tangerine peels in four equal sections with a small, sharp paring knife, being careful not to cut into the fruit.
