How to prepare candied orange peels
Peel oranges for the rind (including all white parts). Cut rinds into thin strips.
Collect orange peels in a saucepan and bring to a boil in hot water. Once boiling, remove from heat and throw away the water. Repeat at least 3 times, changing the water each time. This process serves to soften the orange peel and remove the bitter taste.
Put orange peels, sugar and water (for the orange peels from two oranges: 27 oz. sugar and four oz. water) back in the saucepan and simmer for 10-12 minutes until all liquid has evaporated.
Place orange peels on a cooling rack and let drip dry.
