Candied Orange Peel for Serving and Cooking – Electric Stew Pot Recipe

Overview

Many people don't like the smell of orange peel, but I think it's quite special. The aroma is very soothing. Many people also like to add some tangerine peel when making Chinese stew. For example, many people like grapefruit tea. In fact, the taste of grapefruit peel is very similar to that of orange peel. Oranges can also be used to make orange tea. What I’m going to make today is candied orange peel. Even though it’s a small thing, it has many uses. Candied orange zest can be added to cakes, breads and biscuits to enhance the flavor. It's also delicious when chewed as a snack, and my husband also likes to drink it by soaking it in water.
