| Peel
the grapefruit. Cut off the white pith so that you are left
with just the peel of the grapefruit. Cut the peel into ¼" thick
strips.
Place
the grapefruit peel into a large bowl and add enough water
to cover. Add the salt and stir the mixture. Note: the salt
acts to pull moisture from the grapefruit peel. Cover the
bowl and refrigerate overnight.
Drain
the grapefruit. In a large saucepan, add the grapefruit peel
and fresh water to cover. Heat the water to a boil, turn off
the heat and let the peel sit in the hot water for 30 minutes.
Drain.
In a
large bowl add the drained grapefruit peel and the sugar and
toss to coat. Spread the grapefruit peel on a cookie sheet
lined with waxed paper and let cool to room temperature. Toss
the grapefruit peel with additional sugar if needed. Store
in an airtight container.
