Ingredients
  • 2 large navel oranges
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • ½ cup water
Instructions
  1. Wash and peel two large navel oranges. If the orange peel has a large amount of pith (the white part), cut some of it away with a sharp paring knife.
  2. Cut the peel into strips about ¼ inch wide.
  3. Place peel in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Drain. Repeat this step 2 more times.
  4. Set peel aside.
  5. Combine 1½ cups of sugar and ½ cup of water in the saucepan.
  6. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes or until soft thread stage (232 degrees).
  7. Add the drained peel and continue simmering gently. Cook for 30-45 minutes or until the peels have a translucent quality. Don’t stir while cooking as this could cause the formation of large sugar crystals.
  8. Drain the peels, roll in additional granulated sugar and let dry overnight on a rack.
  9. Store the candied peel in an airtight container.
