Como fazer Rays Of Sunshine Homemade Candied Orange Peel
- Scrub 2-3 large oranges thoroughly under cold running water.
- Using a sharp knife, remove the peel and pith from the oranges in large pieces (about 1/4 of the orange).
- Place the orange peel pieces in a medium-sized saucepan (about 2-quart).
- Cover the peel completely with cold water.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Drain the peel thoroughly.
- Repeat steps 4-7 two more times (for a total of three boilings). The pith should become translucent. If not, repeat once more.
- Drain the peel completely and slice it into 3mm thick strips, or leave in attractive quarter pieces.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar and 1 cup water.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add the prepared orange peel to the sugar syrup.
- Simmer gently for 45-60 minutes, or until the syrup has almost completely evaporated and the peel is translucent, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove the peel from the syrup and place it on a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the peel loosely and allow it to dry overnight.
- The next day, toss the peel in 1/2 cup of caster sugar to coat lightly.
- Arrange the sugar-coated peel in a single layer on fresh parchment paper and allow it to dry completely for 2-3 days, or until the surface is no longer sticky.
- Store the candied peel in airtight containers in a cool, dark, and dry place. It will keep for several months.
