Candied Orange Peel Curls
Serves: approximately 2 (10-inch) lengths
 
Ingredients
  • 1 large orange
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar, divided
Instructions
  1. Using a channel knife, cut long strips of peel from orange.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar just to a simmer over medium-high heat, whisking to dissolve sugar. Add orange peel, and cook for 10 minutes.
  3. Using tongs, remove orange peel from syrup mixture. Lay flat on a wire cooling rack. Let stand over- night to dry.
  4. The next day, wind orange peel around a drinking straw to curl. Store in a covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
