I think the period recipes for candied peels (lemon, too) have you
repeatedly boil the peels in the sugar syrup. I don't know that they
then dredge the peels in the sugar either.

I believe some period recipes and modern redactions can be found in this
file in the FOOD-SWEETS section of my Florilegium:
candy-msg        (136K)  9/23/99    Period candy. Recipes. Candied fruit peels.
