How to Make Candied Orange Peels
Wash the oranges thoroughly. Peel them, trying to keep the peel in large pieces.
Place the peels in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 8 minutes to reduce bitterness.
Drain the peels and immediately cool them in cold water.
Once cool, cut the peels into thin strips.
Place the orange peel strips in a saucepan with the orange juice, water, and sugar.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the time is up, turn off the heat, cover with a lid, and let the peels rest in the syrup for 10 minutes.
Drain the peels well and arrange them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Let them dry at room temperature for at least 1 hour, until no longer sticky.
