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.
