> Wolf Asked for this recipe, and though I can't guarantee it's exactly correct (my only reference was my mother's memory) it's probably close enough to work.

Every time I've done this, I boiled the peels two or three times in plain water first. I forget what that's supposed to do for them, but it's supposed to make it better, somehow. They're really good with chocolate, too. Yum!!
