1. it`s candid lemon and or orange peel.
2. orange and lemon.
3. You can buy candied orange and lemon peel. If I was you though I would miss it out as its horrible stuff. I don't know anyone who likes it.
4. Preserved citrus peels - one of the things you find in fruitcake, ya know? Look in the grocery stores now for good quality ones, or make your own . . . Candied Citrus Peel Recipe Ingredients: Orange rind or grapefruit rind Granulated sugar Water Grapefruit skins are much thicker than other citrus skins. Cooking them a while in boiling water helps loosen up the white pithy part so it is easier to scrape off. 1 Scrub the outside rinds thoroughly to remove any dirt. Put rind in cold water, bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Drain and repeat this process two more times. Drain, rinse with cold water, and scrape away the pithy white part of the peel. Slice into strips. 2 For each cup of rind, prepare a sugar syrup of 1 cup of sugar to 1 cup of water. Put rind in syrup and cook slowly until syrup is completely absorbed - several hours. Stir occassionally and watch carefully near the end of the process. 3 Cool the peel and coat the strips with granulated sugar. Dry overnight on a rack. The sugared peel, when dry, may be dipped into melted semisweet chocolate. If making cake, don't coat them with sugar or chocolate!
5. it means citrus peel, like lemon peel and orange peel
6. It's mixed candied peel of orange, lemon and lime. You buy it in a little tub in the home baking section of the supermarket. I don't bother I just buy mixed fruit and then add up all the quantities and use that amount. So in this case I would use 14oz of mixed fruit.
