Cut lemon peel in julienne strips about ¼” wide. In a medium saucepan add 2 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce to low. Carefully add julienne lemon strips and simmer gently until all the white pitch is transparent, about 30-45 minutes. Store peels in cooled syrup or allow them to cool and roll them in sugar.
Here is the original recipe for Hawaiian Wet Lemon Peel. I am using Meyer lemon, I love the flavor and this is closest to the classic Asian lemon we have in Hawai'i.
In a large bowl pour boiling water over the lemon and kumquat. the purpose is to remove the "oil" from the skin. Let the fruit sit for 5 mins. Place a piece of waxed paper between the cover and the jar. This will prevent the metal cover from rusting.
