Citron White Preserved
Ingredients
Directions
Cut the white citrons into pieces and soak them in salt and water for 4 to 5 hours.
Wash the citrons in cold water and then boil them until tender.
Drain the citrons and cover them with clarified sugar.
The next day, drain the syrup and boil it until smooth and cold, then pour it over the citrons.
Let the citrons sit for 24 hours, then boil the syrup again with the citrons.
On the third day, boil both together and place them into molds to candy.
