Gather the ingredients

To make your orange peel candies, you'll need: - 4 oranges - 2 cups of water - 2 cups of sugar

Prepare the orange peels

Using a sharp knife, carefully peel the oranges, making sure to remove any pith (the white part) as much as possible. Cut the peels into thin strips or desired shape.

Blanch the orange peels

Place the orange peels in a pot of boiling water and blanch them for 2 minutes. Drain the peels and set them aside.

In the same pot, combine 2 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Cook the orange peels in syrup

Add the blanched orange peels to the sugar syrup and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the peels become translucent and tender.

Let the candies cool

Using a slotted spoon, remove the candied orange peels from the syrup and place them on a wire rack to cool. Allow them to dry for at least 24 hours before enjoying.

Store and serve

Once fully dry, store your orange peel candies in an airtight container. Serve them as a deliciously tangy snack or use them as a garnish for desserts and cocktails.
