ABOUT Orange Peel Candy RECIPE

For the "Fruity Fun" contest, I thought of posting the best fun dish one can make with fruits ,then came the idea of orange peel candy. I got this idea from youtube but this is the first time I tried. The candy was delicious

Instructions

Peel the orange skin and clean the fibres from it. Slice it to thin stripes.
Heat 2 cups of water in a wide vessel and add the sliced orange peel and boil for 5 mins.
Remove from flame , drain the water and boil again in fresh water.
Repeat the process 3 times ( this is done to remove the bitterness from orange peel).
Orange peel will turn transparent and glossy.
Drain the water and let it rest for 5 mins until the sugar syrup is ready.
In a wide vessel add sugar and water , boil till the sugar dissolves .Now add the boiled orange peel and boil till the water evaporates and orange peel absorbs the syrup completely.
Remove from vessel and place on a wire rack for 30 mins or more until the candy dries up.
Now sprinkle sugar or castor sugar and refrigerate for 30 mins. Remove from fridge and enjoy.
