I don't recall where this came from. It's a 4day holiday project, but the
results are worth it.

Halve and remove fruit from 3 grapefruits and 3 oranges. Cut peel into
uniform 1/2" strips. Pare off white pith. Put in a saucepan with water
enough to cover. Boil 5 minutes, drain, and repeat. (This debitters the
peels.) Add 2 cups sugar. Cook until peels are transparent and sugar is
absorbed (about 45 minutes), watching to avoid scorching. Spread a cookie
sheet with 2 One half cups sugar. Roll the peels in sugar. Lay strips
skinsideup on a wire rack. Put waxed paper over them. Let rest 23
days.

Melt chocolate in double boiler. Dip ends of peels into chocolate. Let
cool on rack. Store in an airtight box with waxed paper between layers.
