Stop Throwing Away Orange Peel! Make the Fondest Snack (Only 2 Ingredients)

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.
This can probably be made keto by just changing the sugar to allulose. ???? Let's do it! ???? I'm gonna add it to my list of videos, for my weight loss channel.???? I wonder, can the boiled water be used for something? I feel like it would have orange oil. ????
Me who literally just threw away some orange peels lol.
That’s cool as hell
Sugar no good
Just a word of caution. While this is super tasty and flavorful it still is citrus peel. So you might not want to eat too much of it as it still comes with a lot of fibre and might… bloat you.
That would be good with some added citric acid for a tangy and sweet taste.
That looks like marmalade and fruit roll up had a baby. Well done. Have you tried using lemons? It is very tasty too.
The pith is filled with vitamin C and polyphenols. Thank you.
I have some blood orange peels in the fridge that I've been saving up to make a big batch of this! If you boil and change the water a couple more times, you can also candy peels without trimming them. I like them even better when they're thick and juicy rather than thin and crispy!
I make mandarin peel marmalade all the time using more or less the same approach. Love it ❤
