Candied orange peel
It is with great pleasure and much love that I undertake to make candied orange peel every Christmas. The play of scents and flavours of winter, the sweet orange scent fills the kitchen.
Ingredients
- 3 mature Sliced orange
- 1 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 cup water
- Extra sugar for sprinkling

Directions
Wash the oranges thoroughly and cut them into thin slices.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then add the orange slices and cook for about 15 minutes. Good advice: this step will remove the bitter taste.
Strain the orange slices and allow them to cool completely.
In another saucepan, mix the sugar and water until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cook the orange slices in this sugar syrup over a low heat until they become transparent, this should take about 2-3 hours. Take your time, this step gives the orange peel its sweet, candied texture.
Place the orange slices on a tray or baking tray lined with baking paper, then sprinkle them thinly with extra sugar and leave to dry overnight.
