    • 1 1/2 cups sugar
    • Superfine sugar, for coating peel

    1. Using a sharp knife, carefully remove any thick white pith from lime peel. Cut peel into thin 2-inch-long strips.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer lime peel to a wire rack set over parchment paper to drain. Toss with superfine sugar to coat. Store candied lime peel in an airtight container up to 3 days.
