Candied Orange Peel Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 oranges
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 cups water

Directions:

1. Cut off the top and bottom of the oranges, then score the peel into quarters. Peel off the skin and cut it into strips about 1/4 inch wide.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat until the sugar dissolves, then add the orange peel.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup has thickened and the peel is translucent.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and let the orange peel cool in the syrup for about 10 minutes.
5. Remove the orange peel from the syrup, shaking off any excess liquid, and place it on a wire rack to dry for a few hours.
6. Once the orange peel is dry, you can store it in an airtight container for several weeks.
