Candied orange peels



I saw this on a facebook group page.


Recipe: this is from Pinterest by someone called the cookie writer. 
Slice peels into skinny strips, put in pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer 20min. Dump water, full with new water and repeat two more times. Then after the 3rd simmer
 dump out the water and put in 2 cups sugar to 1 cup water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from sugar water and dry on rack above parchment. After its cool, roll in sugar. 

I then took the orange flavored sugar water and brought back to a boil and heated as close to hard crack stage as I could and then poured onto parchment. This will make hard candy. And if it doesn't harden, putting it in the freezer will make it harden-it will have to be eaten right out of the freezer as it will get soft as soon as it starts to warm up.
