    Thank you for watching. Here is the free printale recipe - curatedkitchenware.com/blogs/soupeduprecipes/candy-orange-peel
    Ingredients
    400g of sugar
    300g of orange peel, about 6 large oranges
    1/2 cup of fresh orange juice, from 1 large orange
    1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, optional
    enough sugar to coat the orange peel
    Instructions
    This sugar orange peel tastes like soft candy, so delicious. This recipe works with all kinds of citrus peel, such as lemon, lime, tangerine, grapefruit, and pomelo.
    Freshly juice 1 orange, and you should get about 1/2 cup of juice. Depending on the type of citrus fruit you use, you can change to a different citrus juice. However, if you are using lime or lemon, which are extra sour, you only need 3 tbsp instead of 1/2 cup.
    Cut the orange peel into small pieces. Use a utility knife to remove the white layer from the orange peel. However, don’t remove it completely. Leave a little bit of pith for better texture.
    Boil the orange peel for 10 minutes, then change the water and soak overnight to remove the bitter taste.
    Drain and transfer the peel into a pan. Add sugar, orange juice, and, optionally, vanilla.
    Stir and simmer over medium-low heat until the syrup thickens (about 25 minutes).
    Let it dry on a rack (about 1 hour) and coat with more sugar to prevent sticking. It can stay good in a sealed jar at room temperature for 3 weeks.

      Seems everyone like this and I’ve got one more. Idk if everyone knows this but the fastest way to get rid of any bad smell is to boil 4cups of water with a capful of your own favourite fabric conditioner.

She would wrap them around cinnamon sticks and dredge them in sugar to dry. Gave them as xmas gifts for use in tea. They also made wonderful treats! The water was never thrown out, though. It was the base for cleaners and the sugar syrup drained off was the base for syrup, jam, marmalade and homemade wines. Tips from the generation that started the original recycling movement, lol.

Peels were put in a pan on low, with equal parts sugar, honey (because we had fresh from my uncle's hives) juice & water. Cook on low until all sugar melts, turn to medium low until a slow boil.

      We do that with pumpkin, too. It's becomes crispy Sugary on the out side & moist full of almost honey on the inside. I have been trying to replicate it since I was 20 years old, and now I am 40. Still no luck. I was born in Syria so if you are syrian you might know what I am talking about. I grew up in Egypt now in the USA since 2001.h

    2. boil for 10 minutes
    3. soak overnight after boiling to get rid of bitterness
    4. strain and cook the peel with orange juice and sugar until the syrup thickens

    This seems like a very nice treat! Just please consider, if you buy oranges from a store or supermarket, there is a good chance their peels are treated with fungicides/pesticides like imazalil. It is not recommended to eat large quantities of orange peel treated with Imazalil, and it very hard to clean from the peel once applied.

    • @flowersunshinemtn
      @flowersunshinemtn 2 місяці тому +18

      Exactly my thoughts! I would never do this with conventionally grown citrus(conventionsl = poisons used usually).
      So need organic which makes it a pricier treat. Sadly. Not that long ago it was all organic. Pre1940’s.

      Yes! I'm surprised I had to scroll down so far for this, but oranges are often heavily chemically treated, and even "bio" or "eco" oranges aren't necessarily safe.
      Unless you can be sure they're safe, such as growing them yourself if that's possible in your area, I really wouldn't recommend this treat.
