Candied Orange Peel – That’s How it Works

It’s that easy to candy orange peel

Numerous fruits can be candied quickly and easily and are considered tasty snacks. We will show you below how you can candy orange peel:

1. Wash the orange thoroughly, ideally making sure the peel has not been squirted as organic oranges do. Then use a vegetable peeler to cut the orange into small strips of orange.
2. Put the orange peels in a saucepan full of water and bring them to a boil. Then turn the heat down and let the shells simmer on low for 20 minutes. Then let the shells cool down.
3. Fill a small saucepan with about 1 heaping tablespoon of sugar and about ½ tablespoon of water for each orange. For example, if you took the peel from three oranges, you would need three heaped tablespoons of sugar and a tablespoon and a half of water. If necessary, add water or sugar to create a syrupy consistency.
4. Then cook the shells in the sugar and water mixture on high for five minutes before removing and allowing them to cool.
5. Wait a few hours before eating the candied orange peel. If you don’t want to eat them straight away, you can store them in a food storage container.
