This is how I make candied orange peel to either dip in chocolate, use in biscotti or holiday breads.
Candied Orange Peel
Makes about 1 cup peel
Ingredients:
3 oranges, use peel only
water to cover
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
Directions:
Peel oranges, scoring the peel into 5 or 6 sections to make them equal in size. Place the peel in a saucepan, cover with water and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and let cool. With a grapefruit knife, lift off most of the white pith so they will not be bitter.
Make a simple syrup:
In a clean saucepan combine the water and sugar. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar dissolves. Add the peel and elt simmer until the liquid is absorbed. This will take about 45 minutes to an hour. Watch it so it doesn't burn. Lift the peel out onto waxed paper or parchment paper to cool.
