Ingredients for this Candied Orange Peel Recipe:
- 1 cup orange peel, cut into strips
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup water
Directions:
- Prepare the Orange Peel: Using a vegetable peeler or knife, cut the orange peel into thin strips, ensuring to remove any white pith, as it can be bitter.
- Make the Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Simmer the Peel: Add the orange peel strips to the syrup and reduce the heat to low. Let the peel simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peel becomes translucent and tender.
- Drain and Cool: Remove the peel from the syrup and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let it cool for about 30 minutes.
- Optional – Coat with Sugar: For extra sweetness, roll the cooled peel in a bit of extra sugar.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once completely cool, your Candied Orange Peel Recipe is ready to serve or store.
