Making candied orange peels involves slicing oranges and blanching the peels to lessen bitterness. The peels are then simmered in sugar syrup, coated in granulated sugar, and dried, resulting in a lengthy shelf life. They can last two months at room temperature, one month in the fridge, or three months in the freezer. Candied peels offer culinary versatility, serving as decorations for cakes, garnishes for cocktails, or ingredients in baked goods, trail mixes, and homemade granola. To retain freshness, storing in airtight containers with desiccants is recommended.
Candied orange peels, made with just oranges, sugar, and water, are vibrant and sweet, perfect for decorating cakes, garnishing cocktails, and snacking.
The process involves slicing orange peels, blanching to soften them, simmering in sugar syrup, and finally coating with sugar before air drying.
Candied orange peels can last up to two months in a cool, dry place and can be enhanced by using desiccants to absorb moisture.
These peels can be dipped in chocolate, added to cake batters, or incorporated into granola and trail mixes for added flavor.
