      Title: Candied Lemon Peel
 Categories: Citrus, Chocolate
      Yield: 1 Pound
 
      8 lg Lemons
      2 c  Sugar
      2 c  Water
  1 1/2 c  Superfine sugar
  1 1/2 c  Semisweet chocolate chips
      2 tb Shortening
 
  With a sharp knife, score each lemon, cutting peel into four
  wedge-shaped sections. Loosen and remove peel with a spoon (save
  fruit for another use).
  
  Place peel in a large heavy saucepan and cover with cold water.
  
  Bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Drain and repeat.
  Cool for 5 minutes. Carefully scrape off excess pulp from peel. Cut
  the peel into 1/4" strips.
  
  In another saucepan, combine sugar and water; cook and stir over
  medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add lemon strips. Bring to a
  boil. Reduce the heat; simmer, uncovered, for 50-60 minutes or
  until peels are transparent, stirring occasionally.
  
  Using a slotted spoon, transfer strips to wire racks placed over a
  baking pan. Let stand for 1 hour. Sprinkle superfine sugar into an
  ungreased 15x10x1" pan. Sprinkle strips over sugar; toss to coat.
  Let stand for 8 hours or overnight, tossing occasionally.
  
  In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until
  smooth. Dip one end of each strip into chocolate mixture; place on
  waxed paper until set. Store in an airtight container for up to
  2 weeks.
