Candied orange peel
Overview
Late autumn and early winter are the time when Gannan navel oranges are on the market. The flesh of navel oranges is tender and juicy, and the peel cannot be wasted. It can be made into candied orange peel. After marinating for a few days, it can be used to make orange peel cake. Because it is not boiled in water or steamed in a pot, more sugar needs to be added so that the orange peel can be marinated thoroughly. The pickled sugar juice can be used to make cakes and used as sugar, which will increase the orange flavor in the cake. It can also be used to drink water, which is also unique. If you are in a hurry to use orange peel, you can boil it in water or steam it until soft. Cooked or steamed orange peels are best stored in the refrigerator, while uncooked candied orange peels can be stored at room temperature for a long time without deterioration, but the taste is slightly harder than steamed ones. It depends on your personal taste to choose the appropriate method.
