Drain the peel and place it in a pot with fresh water.

Boil the peel for 10-15 minutes until tender, then drain again.

In the same pot, combine sugar, water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

Add the boiled peel to the pot and simmer for 30-40 minutes until syrupy.

Remove the peel from the syrup and let it cool on a wire rack.

Toss the cooled peel in cornstarch to prevent sticking.

Once dry, coat the peel in powdered sugar for sweetness.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
