Candied Citrus Peel

 

2 oranges, peeled with veggie peeler. Scrape any pith off with a spoon. Then cut into 1/4” strips

As for the simple syrup, see if 2 cups water/2 cups sugar is enough. If not, add one more cup of each.

On day one, simmer the peels in the simple syrup until they are completely saturated. Set pan on the back burner, let it completely cool down, and then cover it.

On days 2-4, bring the mixture to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes. Set pan on the back burner, let it completely cool down, and then cover it.

On day 5, drain the peels, and on a foil-lined sheet pan, dust with a cup of sugar, and let it dry uncovered until the peels looks grainy/frosty inside when you twist or tear it. Maybe 1-2 days?
