Candied orange peel

Overview

The candied orange peel diced often used in Western pastries is actually available in the market, but I wonder if you are like me and sometimes have doubts about fresh products that can be stored for a long time? In fact, candied orange peel can be made at home, and it can also be made into 1/4 orange peel, shredded orange peel or diced orange peel according to personal usage habits. Very convenient and safe.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Blanch the oranges in hot water for 5 minutes, then dry the surface moisture and roll them on the countertop to loosen the skin and pulp.

   

2. 2 First, use a knife to make a circle across the orange.

   

3. 3 The spoon is inserted through the slit between the skin and the pulp, and each part is separated.

   

4. 4 The peel and pulp can be separated easily~ The pulp will need to be juiced later, so don’t be in a hurry to eat it.

   

5. 5 Use a knife to remove as much of the white skin inside the peel as possible, and then modify the knife according to personal needs. I'm cutting it into strips today.

   

6. 6 Take a small pot, add the peel and heat over low heat. When the sugar begins to melt, add the orange juice and shake gently to combine.

   

7. 7 Add lemon juice and cook until the soup reaches the desired consistency, then turn off the heat.

   

8. 8 Bottle it quickly while it is hot. After sealing it, quickly turn it upside down and place it until it is completely cool. Then you can store it in the refrigerator. If unopened, it can be stored for 1 month; after opening, please use it up as soon as possible~ (Because my hands were very busy and I was making another dish at the same time, I didn’t take pictures when bottling it:p)
