Candied Orange Peel
This can go on any dessert. My favorite use is as a topping for good vanilla ice cream.
Peel one large unblemished orange
½ cup water
2 heaping tbs. sugar
• Using only the bright orange part of the peel, cut it into very fine julienne strips.
• Blanch the peel in a pan of boiling water for 1 minute.
• Drain and repeat, blanching it twice.
• Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
• Boil the water with the sugar over a low heat until the sugar dissolves.
• Add the peel and simmer until almost no liquid remains, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the peel to a baking pan and let it cool completely.
