I had a bunch of oranges given to me and I honestly had absolutely no clue what to do with them all so from making the orange cake I used the rind of the oranges instead of throwing it out.

It's also perfect to give as a homemade gift.

Steps

1

In boiling water cook the orange strips for 15 minutes, drain the water and repeat. (This is to remove some of the bitterness from the rind)
2

In a saucepan (I used a 20cm round saucepan) add the sugar and 300ml of water then over medium heat stir continously until the sugar has dissolved.
3

Add the peel and bring it to boiling point then reduce it to a simmer and cook for approximately 45 minutes until the orange rind is really soft. If there is any liquid left drain. Mine became gloopy and really sticky so I had to work quickly before it cooled down and hardened.
4

Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and add 150g sugar spread out.
5

Toss the orange rind evenly in the sugar, separating any rinds that are stuck together.
6

Transfer the coated rind to a tray lined with foil.
7

Cover the tray with a tea towel and let it dry for 1-2 days. Then place in an airtight container and enjoy.
