We visited my mum in Meru, Love that place it has all the fresh vegetables and fruit you can think of. I got so many juicy oranges, i just couldn't let the peels go to waste. I decided to do candied orange peel. I love the outcome.

Cooking Instructions

2½hrs
  1. 1

    Wash the peels

  2. 2

    Remove the inner white part, remove as much as possible.

  3. 3

    Cut into your desired shape. I cut mine julienne.

  4. 4

    Put them in a pan/pot/sufuria and let it boil.

  5. 5

    Boiling gets rid of the bitter taste. I boiled mine once, you can do it twice or thrice to completely get rid of the bitterness. After every boil rinse it and boil again.

  6. 6

    In another pot/pan/sufuria put the sugar and water and boil. Add the orange strips and let it boil for a while as you stir

  7. 7

    Reduce the heat, the syrup will have started to thicken.

  8. 8

    Remove and place them one at a time on a rack or parachment paper.

  9. 9

    Don't throw away the syrup, it can be used to sweeten drinks and on baked foods.

  10. 10

    Let it cool completely. Use it in baked foods or drinks.
