Hear me out right? You never have to throw away your orange peels ever again, eat them w this recipe!
Am i insane? Yes 😂
Start by of course eating your orange after peeling it, keep your peels, and put them in some hot boiling water on the stove.
Occasion & Servings: 2 ppl depending on how big your orange are
Ingredient 1 & Portion: orange peels
Ingredient 2 & Portion: sugar water
Detailed Steps: Blanch your orange peels (what is that?)
Put the peels in hot boiling water to reduce the bitterness for ten mintues at a time
Do this five times, draining the water from the peels in between
Optional: scrap the white as it causes most bitterness or leave it on
Rinse the blanched peels in cold water
Boil 1 cup of hot water
1 cup of sugar
Add orange peels and leave for 45 mintues
Take out the peels and add to a wire rack with parchment paper underneath
Put each orange peel in sugar (they will be tacky and slightly hot if you don't cool them) and leave them to rest for a couple a while.
I ate them right away😂
⭐️Overall rating: 12/10 took a long time to make and it was gone in under five mintues
