I'm getting more and more passed now. I bought three kilograms of oranges. After eating the skins, I was not willing to put them in the refrigerator. Finally, I processed them into this candied orange peel.
Baidu took a look: Orange contains a lot of vitamin A, which can be used as a stomachic agent. Orange peel is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine for a long time. Treat cough and resolve phlegm. Regulate qi, resolve phlegm, invigorate the spleen, and lead stagnation. Cure cold and cough, loss of appetite, chest and abdomen pain, bowel diarrhea, milk carbuncle.
After the orange peel is soaked in sugar, it can be eaten directly or soaked in water, and it can also be used to make a variety of pastries. The benefits are so many.
It can be stored for a long time in an airtight refrigerator after making it. It is said that there will be no bitterness after two days, look forward to it!

Candied Orange Peel

1. Wash the oranges, cut off the skins on both ends of the head and tail smoothly, and lightly cut 4 knives along the arc of the orange to easily peel off the orange peels.

3. Boil the orange zest in boiling water for 10 minutes and turn off the heat.

4. Take out and cool

5. Scrape off the white flesh as much as possible

6. Cut the orange zest into fine strips.

7. Add water, lemon juice, a little salt and sugar into a pot and heat on low heat. Stir constantly until it melts, then pour in the orange peel.

8. Cook until the soup is thick and the orange peel is translucent.

9. Cook until the soup is all off the heat. Stir the cooked orange zest so that each shredded orange zest is covered with sugar.

10. After being taken out into a baking tray to dry, put in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.

Tips:
