Easy 2 Ingredient Candied Orange

In this instructable I'm going to show you how to make my all time favorite candy. I make this recipe like once a month or so.

You will need only 3 ingredients:

Oranges & Sugar

and some water but i think you have that anyways

the amount of ingredients is 1/3 of each (I will explain this later)

Please make sure that your knife is sharp. If not, cutting the white from the orange peel will be very difficult.

• pan
• knife (sharp)
• cutting board
• A tray
• baking paper

Start like me with cleaning up your workplace. And find yourself some organic oranges because we will be eating the peels and normally oranges get sprayed with pesticides.
Even though these are organic, wash the peels thoroughly, I used a brush.

After washing them, cut them in 4 pieces. Then they are big enough and have a nice candy size, but still small enough for you to easily de-white them since the white part gives the bitter taste you want to make sure you cut most of it away .

So first use the knife to cut off most of the white, then use a zest peeler to cut off the rest. Be very careful with this process because you want to use the whole peel so you can have nice and long stripes.

blanche the peels 3 times for two minutes in fresh boiling water.

After this weigh the peels and add the same amount of weight of sugar and water. Then boil this for like 20-30 min until they are candied.

Put them on a tray and make sure they aren't touching each other. Let them dry for a bit, then add some sugar. Mix thoroughly until it's not sticky anymore.

So who does not like the combination of orange and chocolate? If you don't then this is not for you.

Melt some chocolate and dip the peels in! This is just a very nice addition to the already delicious candy.

I hope you liked this recipe and please let me know what you think of it.
