Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 2 cups pecan
  • 5 min- utes

Directions

1

Soak orange skins in lukewarm water for an hour or longer. Then scrape out all the soft pulp that adheres to the skin; cut into narrow strips about J4 inch wide; boil these hard, in clear water, until very soft — soft enough to be almost transparent — put them in a colander to drain. Then make a syrup of 1 cup granulated sugar and enough boiling water to dissolve the sugar. When it is thoroughly boiled and clear, cook a few "straws" at a time in the syrup for about 5 min- utes. Have a large platter of granulated sugar, in which roll the straws. When they have absorbed all the sugar they can, put them on another plate to dry. These are a nice addition to the nuts and candied fruits served for a luncheon or dinner.
