Candied orange peel, I learned from a baking book a few years ago, the first time I made it, I was dumped by its sweetness that touched the taste buds. The orange peel that was once thrown into the trash can changed its destiny and turned into waste. Weibao, at this time of year, candied orange peel has become a must-do snack at home, and it is also a good ingredient for baking. I personally think that the choice of oranges is very important. I always choose farmer oranges because they do not wax or make up. If you don’t ripen, you can eat the orange peel with confidence. This year’s method is slightly different from previous years. A little orange flesh and a few slices of lemon are added to add flavor.

Ingredients

4 Orange Peel
