Orange and lemon peel can be candied to make a yummy treat. The rule to go by is to use 8.5 ounces of water and 4.5 ounces of sugar per orange, for measurements, a lemon is half of an orange. |
Cook the peels in the sugar syrup, do not stir during this process, that may cause the formation of large sugar crystals. Simmering takes 2 hours. |
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow to cool. Once cool, drain the peels in a colander. Turn oven to 200 degrees. Reserve the simple syrup when draining. |

Hi Claire! Hope you had great success making the candied peel! Nettie
