Slice the rind into approx. ½" thick and 3" long slices..prepare about 4 cups worth of slices..keep just a little red on there for extra pretty!
In a medium pot add 4 cups of sugar and 2 cups water. Stir to dissolve the sugar, let it boil for 5 minutes.
Add in the rind and turn the heat to a low simmer..cook uncovered for about an hour, until the sugar/water reduces and thickens up!
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool, then drain the rind in a colander…set aside.
In a Food Processor, pulse 1 cup of fresh mint with 1 cup of white sugar until well combined.
In a medium bowl, dredge the cooled rind with the Mint Sugar, and place a single layer onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Place the sugar coated rind in a low (200 degrees) oven to dry out..this takes about 2 hours or so..and I even needed to leave them out over night on the counter to dry up some more!
