For 4 people
Grate enough peel from the oranges, grapefruit, lemon and lime to measure 1 tbsp. of mixed citrus peel; set peel aside. To section citrus fruit cut a thin slice off the bottom and top of the oranges, grapefruit, lemon and lime. Place each fruit cut side down on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, remove peel and white pith. Holding fruit over a bowl, slice between the membrane for each section and the fruit until the knife reaches the center; remove sections and place in a glass bowl. Set 1/2 cup juice aside. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and reserved peel and juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes. Cool; stir in extract. Pour over fruit. Refrigerate overnight and before serving sprinkle with almonds.
