Ingredients
- 3 organic or unwaxed oranges (Sevilles are good)
- 90 g caster sugar (twice)
- 220 ml water (twice)
Directions
Peel just the skin of the washed, dried orange with a potato peeler (include only skin, no white pith).
Boil the peels in a syrup made from the sugar and water for 5 minutes. Remove peels from syrup.
Dry peels on a wire rack for 4 hours.
Boil peels again in a fresh syrup. Dry again on the wire rack until brittle (about 48 hours).
Grind in a clean coffee grinder and store in a sealed container.
