Fruits confits (candied fruit)

Instructions

1. Wash the citrus fruits, slice them about 5 mm thick and remove the seeds.
2. Plunge the slices into boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain. Repeat twice to soften the bitterness.
3. In a large saucepan, heat the water with 300 g of sugar until dissolved.
4. Add the citrus slices and let them simmer very gently for 45 minutes.
5. Remove the fruit, add the remaining sugar and the glucose to the syrup, then return the fruit.
6. Cook for another 30 minutes at a gentle simmer until the pieces become translucent.
7. Drain on a rack and leave to dry at room temperature for 24 hours.
8. Roll the fruit in sugar if you like, and store in a sealed jar.
