How do you sugar glaze lemon peel?

To sugar glaze lemon peel, first, slice the lemon peel into thin strips and blanch them in boiling water for about 5 minutes to soften. Drain and rinse the strips, then simmer them in a mixture of equal parts water and sugar until the peel becomes translucent and the syrup thickens. Remove the strips, let them cool slightly, then toss them in granulated sugar to coat. Allow the glazed peels to dry on a wire rack before using or storing.
