Repeat process twice, draining well each time. Cool for 5 minutes. Carefully scrape off excess pulp from peel. Cut the peel into 1/4-in. strips. , In another saucepan, combine sugar, water, corn syrup and salt. Cook over medium heat until clear.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer strips to wire racks for at least 3 hours or until dry. , Melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip each strip halfway into chocolate. Cool on wire racks coated with cooking spray.
