I wanted to make homemade candied peels, so I created my own recipe by referencing a variety of recipes and consolidating the best of each!

When coating the peels in granulated sugar, they will get sticky, but once they are well coated, the sugar will dry up and stop sticking.
By repeating Step 3, you can get rid of some of the astringency (bitterness).
Coating them in chocolate makes them extra delicious. For 2 hassaku's worth. Recipe by Jay
