Candied orange peel

 I used to feel sad to see the beautiful orange peels being thrown away. Never knew it is so easy to make candied orange peels. Taking guidance from this site I prepared them yesterday and they turned out delicious.

Ingredients

4 orange peels, the inner softer part scraped off with a spoon

1 cup sugar

2 cups water

2 tbsps sugar powder

Instruction

-          Cut the orange peel into long strips. Take water in a saucepan and put the cut peels into it, put on high flame and let it boil.

-          Strain the peels, fill the saucepan again with water, put the peels and bring it to boil again. It is boiled twice to remove the bitterness.

-          Strain the peels, put them back into the saucepan, and add 1 cup sugar and 2 cups water. Put on high flame, bring it to boil, reduce the flame and let it simmer for half an hour.

-          Take out the peels and put them over wire mesh and let dry for 24 hours. 

-      The left over sugar syrup I added to yoghurt and we had a delicious dish.

-          Roll the peels in powdered sugar and now it is ready!

-          Enjoy the tongue tingling taste of the candied orange peels and the left over ones can be refrigerated to be consumed later.
