Ingredients

  • Peel of two or three oranges sliced thinly, pith removed
  • 3 cups of water divided
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar divided

Instructions
 

Directions

  • Thinly slice fresh orange peel. Remove as much of the white pith as possible. Place the orange peel in a small saucepan on the stove and add 1 cup of water (240mL). Bring to a boil on the stove and boil for 1 minute.
  • Drain well.
  • Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the sliced peels and 1 more cup of water (240mL).
  • Drain well.
  • In the saucepan, stir together the remaining 1 cup of water (240mL) and 200 grams of the granulated sugar. Bring to a boil and allow to boil for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to simmer and add the orange peel. Allow to simmer for 30 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally.
  • Place the remaining 50 grams of sugar in a bowl. Remove the peels from the pan with a slotted spoon and place in the sugar. Roll the peels to coat. Shake off the extra sugar and lay the peels on a piece of parchment paper in a single layer.
  • Allow to dry overnight.
  • Store in an airtight bag or container for up to one month.
