Pour the boiling syrup over the zests and let it drain into the juice. Return the juice mixture to the saucepan. Bring quickly to a boil, remove from the heat, and return to the bowl to cool. Skim, then bottle and store in the refrigerator. Use this syrup with fruits, in a marinade for chicken or pork, or as the basis of a cooling drink. Just add water or sparkling water to dilute.
