Candied Orange Peel (Easy & Delicious) Made a second batch this morning.
- Thread starter sylvia
- Start date
I read the recipe....
and I'm not following the instruction about making "a slit in the rind" and scooping out the flesh.
How deep a slit? In what direction? How much of the pith do you leave?
Why not just peel the orange in long strips and use the flesh for something else?
Why are some recipes written in such a incomprehensible manner? (perhaps I should switch from research document editing to recipe editing?)
(Sylvia, this is absolutely no reflection on you...)

I was wondering about bringing it...
...to a boil. How long? Just until the water boils? Then remove the peel?
This reads like every recipe my German Mom wrote down. Very vague. "Mix good", as my Mom used to write.
I'm sure Sylvia can fill us in. She's made a few batches.

Judy, I should have noted that I ignored that instruction. I removed the peel from
the orange by making about 8 cuts into the skin lengthwize and the skin came off easily by just pulling gently on each section. That's pretty well what you described.
(I just posted the recipe as is thinking everyone would ignore the silly instructions.)

Michael, I just brought the water to the boil and then removed the peel. (More instructions inside.)
Once the syrup was basically absorbed by the peels I put them onto racks to dry for a couple of hours. I then rolled the peels in a bowl of sugar. The peels were then left to dry a little longer before putting them into a tin.
I didn't dip any in chocolate but I'm sure they would be wonderful. I've included some peels on plates of cookies and they've been a hit.
