Detailed Steps for Cooking Candied Orange Peel
Ingredients: Fresh Orange Peel (the amount from 3 oranges), Granulated Sugar.
Soak the fresh orange peel in clean water.
After about 15 minutes, change the water and remove the stem.
Soak the orange peel for 2-3 days, changing the water 2-3 times a day, and try to scrape off the white layer inside the peel.
Drain the soaked orange peel.
Cut the orange peel into thin strips as much as possible.
Put the orange peel strips in a large bowl.
Add two tablespoons of granulated sugar.
Coat the orange peel strips with granulated sugar.
Transfer the mixed orange peel strips to a storage container and sprinkle with a layer of granulated sugar.
Cover the storage container and let it sit in a cool, dark place for a week.
After a week, open the storage container and you will see the orange peel is translucent and fragrant, ready to use.
