1. Soften the gelatin in the cold water. 2. Combine the sugar, salt and hot water in a saucepan; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. 3. Stir in the softened gelatin; turn the heat down and simmer, without stirring, for 20 minutes. 4. Remove from the heat and stir in the grated rind and lemon juice, and a little yellow food coloring to tint the mixture, if desired. 5. Let stand 3 minutes. 6. Strain the mixture into a 8 x 4-inch loaf pan which has been rinsed with cold water. 7. Let stand without disturbing until slightly jellied (to prevent filming the sides of the pan); then refrigerate overnight. Loosen around the sides of the pan with a wet spatula. 8. Slip the spatula down one end and underneath the jellied mixture, then pull it out of the pan with your hands onto a surface liberally dusted with confectioner's sugar. 9. Cut into 1-inch squares. 10. Roll in confectioners' sugar to coat. Store in one layer in a tightly covered container at room temperature. 11. The candies will stay moist for about 2 weeks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
