Ingredients

Instructions
- Combine the sugar, water and citrus strips in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat, stirring, until all the sugar has dissolved.
- Bring just to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Do not boil down or cook to a candy stage. Leave the peel in the syrup while it cools briefly, then strain it out.
- Cool promptly in a shallow heatproof container, then refrigerate in a clean covered container at 40°F or below within 2 hours. Date and use within 4 days, or freeze small portions promptly.
Notes
This is richer than equal-weight simple syrup; add gradually rather than substituting it without adjusting a recipe.
This is a dessert component, not a complete sorbet recipe.
Keep refrigerated; no room-temperature preservation or canning method is intended.
