Candied Orange (Peel)

First Published: 2022 January 5

Draft 1

If you’ve seen some of my earlier posts, you might notice that I sometimes used to mention recipes I’d cooked here. Mostly this serves as a way for me to1 recreate these dishes at a later time.

My brothers kindly gave me a2 5 kilogram chocolate bar for Christmas. Now, if you’re anything like me, you immediately thought of the same thing to use the chocolate for! That’s right, candied orange peel.

Well, being fair, my mind went:

  1. Chocolate and Christmas

  2. Christmas = Orange3

  3. Chocolate and Orange

  4. Chocolate Oranges

  5. ...

I’m sure you can catch the rest. So, without further ado, I present my4 recipe for chocolate orange (peels).

  1. Cut orange in half polewise

  2. Remove Skin

  3. Boil skin in water for 30 minutes

  4. Remove skin and cool

  5. Scrape pith5 off with a knife or something

  6. Put orange slices and skin together with sugar and reserved boiling water

  7. Cook until candied

  8. Drain and Dry6

  9. Coat in chocolate??

  1. in theory↩︎

  2. along with the better part of a second↩︎

  3. for some cultural reason with no direct impact on me↩︎

  4. yet unfinished↩︎

  5. the white bit↩︎

  6. where I am now↩︎
