Stop Throwing Away Orange Peel! Make the Fondest Snack (Only 2 Ingredients)

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Thank you for watching. Here is the free printale recipe - curatedkitchenware.com/blogs/soupeduprecipes/candy-orange-peel Ingredients 400g of sugar 300g of orange peel, about 6 large oranges 1/2 cup of fresh orange juice, from 1 large orange 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, optional enough sugar to coat the orange peel Instructions This sugar orange peel tastes like soft candy, so delicious. This recipe works with all kinds of citrus peel, such as lemon, lime, tangerine, grapefruit, and pomelo. Freshly juice 1 orange, and you should get about 1/2 cup of juice. Depending on the type of citrus fruit you use, you can change to a different citrus juice. However, if you are using lime or lemon, which are extra sour, you only need 3 tbsp instead of 1/2 cup. Cut the orange peel into small pieces. Use a utility knife to remove the white layer from the orange peel. However, don’t remove it completely. Leave a little bit of pith for better texture. Boil the orange peel for 10 minutes, then change the water and soak overnight to remove the bitter taste. Drain and transfer the peel into a pan. Add sugar, orange juice, and, optionally, vanilla. Stir and simmer over medium-low heat until the syrup thickens (about 25 minutes). Let it dry on a rack (about 1 hour) and coat with more sugar to prevent sticking. It can stay good in a sealed jar at room temperature for 3 weeks.

My mom is a realtor and she always gets sample paints (the mini cans) and opens them and puts them around the rooms in a closet shelf pushed back so you can’t see it, and she warms up a chocolate chip cookie in the microwave and it makes the whole kitchen smell like fresh baked cookies. ❤ She had tons of little tricks like that.

[@justgotserious9124]

@@nicoleallen6792 I think there’s actually a psychology on freshly baked cookies in an open house(at least in the US) , it induces a sense of childhood nostalgia but one survey found out that freshly baked bread works even better. Cookies just doubles down as an easier open house treat.

[@justgotserious9124]

Seems everyone like this and I’ve got one more. Idk if everyone knows this but the fastest way to get rid of any bad smell is to boil 4cups of water with a capful of your own favourite fabric conditioner. My asian mom is a pescatarian. She occasionally cooks dried fish and the scent is really really strong but this trick gets rid of any fishy smell in 5mins or less. Works a lot better than febreeze.

My g-grandma used to make orange and lemon 'twirlers' from our orchard (you can candy the rind of many fruits, I also loved candied watermelon rind). She would wrap them around cinnamon sticks and dredge them in sugar to dry. Gave them as xmas gifts for use in tea. They also made wonderful treats! The water was never thrown out, though. It was the base for cleaners and the sugar syrup drained off was the base for syrup, jam, marmalade and homemade wines. Tips from the generation that started the original recycling movement, lol.

Lemon, lime & grapefruit were boiled twice water saved for same. No vanilla, which had me turning my nose up, lol. Peels were put in a pan on low, with equal parts sugar, honey (because we had fresh from my uncle's hives) juice & water. Cook on low until all sugar melts, turn to medium low until a slow boil. Cook until peels are translucent. Drain (saving liquid for syrup, wine, jelly makings) When peels are cool enough to handle wrap around cinnamon sticks and dredge in sugar. Granny would leave them in the covered sugar container for a few days, shaking now & then. I wasn't too fond of the grapefruit sticks, but loved her grapefruit chews.

totally gonna make this for bartending! would be perfect for an old fashioned

[@tarabullgaming]

I’ve had these in cocktails before! It was such a cool touch, they wrapped it around a stick so they would dry like a spiral.

[@denisesproat1449]

I always added water to the sugar when doing this. The remaining sugary liquid makes a great simple syrup.

[@kt._.ro8]

Well thank you for this idea 🤦 I love making cocktails and am a bartender, trying to work my way up into bigger venues, didn't once think to use this as a garnish while watching, I'm an idiot. Cheers for that lmao x 🙏

my mom grew up on a ranch in Idaho in the 30s back during the depression oranges were scarce and a big treat. My grandmother didn’t waste anything and she made candied orange slices for my mom.

You can also use the water you boiled the peels in as a remedy for when you're sick. Drink it consistently and it actually helps out a lot.

Awesome !!! Must be good for the body also !!!

Just made a batch for my family. Such a deliciously simple recipe. It is now my fondest KZbin snack! Cheers!

[@alysoffoxdale]

I have some blood orange peels in the fridge that I've been saving up to make a big batch of this! If you boil and change the water a couple more times, you can also candy peels without trimming them. I like them even better when they're thick and juicy rather than thin and crispy!

[@hanadr]

How many more times should you change the water?

[@alysoffoxdale]

@@hanadr Until it's enough. The bitterness bothers some people more than others, so you just have to test a small piece every couple of changes until it's ok for you.

[@renel7303]

​@@hanadr usually recipes say 3 times.

Organic grapefruit is delicious this way. Candied soft, thick with all the pith left on. Then dip one end into dark chocolate. Or not.

My grandparents had a similar experience during WWII in Ireland. It was difficult to get fruit and when their dad managed to bring home an orange, it sat on the counter for a couple days so they could all look at it and smell it before they all enjoyed it together
