candid orange and peels的做法  

1. Slice the oranges thinly into wheels and remove any seeds, taking care not to tear the orange.

2. Bring a pot of water up to a boil and drop in the orange slices.  Simmer the peel for 1 minutes, then strain, discarding the water.

3. Refill the pot with 1½ cups of fresh water and add the sugar.  Bring this up to a simmer then add the orange slices and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 20 minutes – the peel will look slightly translucent (but not completely).  Remove the pot from the heat and cool the slices in the syrup to room temperature.  Store the candied slices, refrigerated and in the syrup for up to a month.
