Candied Orange Peels
This is an easy snack or dessert recipe that is gluten-free and vegan!
Ingredients
- 4 Orange peels
- 2 cups Sugar
Instructions
- Peel the oranges and freeze or set aside for another recipe. Alternatively use orange peels you have saved previously.
- Slice the orange peels into thin strips, and then set aside.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, and allow the orange peels to simmer for approximately 15 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Now in the same pot, bring equal parts water and sugar to a boil to make a simple syrup. Whisk until combine. Add the orange peels back in, and set to lower. Simmer on low for approximately 30 minutes, until the orange peels have candied.
- Transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet, and allow to cool for 4 hours. You can store the candied citrus peel for up to a month in a cool, dry place on your countertop.
