Directions
Rays of Sunshine – Homemade Candied Orange Peel,Once you have made homemade candied orange OR lemon peel, you will never go back to using commercially produced peel again! This is such an easy recipe & yields enough freshly candied peel to accommodate most of my recipes using peel for quite a few months. You just need to be organised and have an airy & dry room available for the drying process. This peel enhances any recipe calling for peel, and actually TASTES like oranges! I often keep the peel from fresh oranges in a container, in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, until I have enough to handy to make a batch.,This was a great recipe! Instead of caster sugar, I just used regular granulated sugar and they turned out great! They weren’t as hard as they sound! Now I don’t have to waste any more orange peels!,This was a great recipe!
