Candied Orange Peel and Slices

I need candied orange and lime peel for another video I want to record and thought a separate video on this could be helpful for other fun chocolate projects you might have. 

Ingredients:

2 oranges

1 lime

2.5 cups or 560 g sugar 

2 cup or 470ml water 

Instruction :

  1. Peel and remove skin from orange and lime

  2. Cut skins into strips

  3. To remove bitterness, boil the peel twice for 5 min

  4. In between refresh peel under cold water

  5. Drain

  6. Mix water and sugar together and bring to a simmer

  7. Add peels and let simmer for 3 hours

  8. Syrup should barley simmer

  9. Drain and dry over night

  10. Optional: coat in sugar
