Candied Orange & Lemon Peels

Candied Orange & Lemon Peels
Prep Time: 2 Days     Cook Time: 1hr      Ready In: 2 Days 1 hr

Serving Size: 24

INGREDENTS
6 Oranges
6 Lemons
5 Cups Sugar
Water


DIRECTIONS
Cut the bottom and top off the oranges and score the orange into quaters. Peel the skin off the orange. Cut the peel into stips about 1/4 inch wide. One orange can provide 16 strips. Do the same for the lemons, one lemon can provide 12 stirps.

*If you cannot use up all the lemons and oranges you may save your orange and lemon peels each time you consume one. You may freeze the peels until you have enough to make this recipe.

Bring a pot of water to boil. Add in orange peel. Boil for 5 minutes. Strain the peels.
Repeat the above step for 2 more times. This process will get rid of the bitterness found in the peels.

Wisk 4 cups of sugar into 4 cups of boiling water in a container. Put in the orange peels. Let it sit overnight with cover. Strain peels, coat with sugar and let it dry over the counter. Alternatively you may dry out the moisture by placing the peel into an over at 200 degrees. Check on the peels every hour and they should be good after 2hr.

*Repeat for lemon peels. You do not want to boil the lemon and orange peel together because their flavor will cross contaminate.


You can put the candied Orange & Lemon Peels into a clear cellophange bag. I got the cellophane bags at Walmart for $2/10pack.  Now you can give the candied peels to your family and friends!
