Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 oranges
  • 1 cup sugar (divided)
  • 1/2 cup water (plus additional as noted)

Instruction

  • Carefully peel the oranges. Try to get only the orange portion of the peel, and avoid the white pith.
  • Cut the peel into strips to preferred size.
  • In a small sauce pan, cover the peel with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until the orange peel is tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and dry on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
  • In the same pan, dissolve 3/4 cup of sugar in 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then add the orange peel. Cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes.
  • Very carefully remove the peel from the sugar mixture and place on the rack. Use a fork to separate the pieces, then let cool for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Once cooled, toss in the remaining sugar. Store in a sealed jar in a cabinet, will keep for several weeks.
