Peel the oranges<br \/>\n   Scrub 4 large oranges, preferably organic or unwaxed. Score each peel<br \/>\n   into quarters from top to bottom and pull the peel off in large pieces.<br \/>\n   Slice into strips about 1\/4 inch wide. Leave most of the white pith on;<br \/>\n   the blanching removes the bitterness.<\/p>\n<p>2. Blanch three times (1 min each)<br \/>\n   Put the strips in a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to a boil.<br \/>\n   Boil 1 minute, then drain. Repeat with fresh cold water two more times,<br \/>\n   three blanchings in all.<\/p>\n<p>3. Make the syrup<br \/>\n   In the same pan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar (for syrup), 1 cup water<br \/>\n   (for syrup) and 1 tablespoon light corn syrup (optional, prevents<br \/>\n   crystallizing). Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves.<\/p>\n<p>4. Simmer the peels (about 50 min)<br \/>\n   Add the blanched strips to the syrup. Simmer gently, without stirring<br \/>\n   hard, until the peels turn translucent and the syrup thickens, about<br \/>\n   45 minutes to 1 hour.<\/p>\n<p>5. Drain (30 min)<br \/>\n   Lift out the strips with a slotted spoon or fork and lay them on a wire<br \/>\n   rack set over a sheet pan. Let them drip and cool for 30 minutes. Save<br \/>\n   the leftover syrup; it&#8217;s great in tea or cocktails.<\/p>\n<p>6. Coat in sugar<br \/>\n   Toss the strips in 0.75 cups granulated sugar (for coating) until well<br \/>\n   coated.<\/p>\n<p>7. Dry (12 to 24 hours)<br \/>\n   Spread the sugared strips back on the rack and let them dry at room<br \/>\n   temperature until no longer sticky, 12 to 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>NOTES<br \/>\nStore in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or<br \/>\nrefrigerate for up to a month. For a treat, dip one end of each strip in<br \/>\nmelted dark chocolate. The same method works for grapefruit, lemon or<br \/>\nlime peels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Anthropic&#8217;s version of this recipe: CANDIED ORANGE PEELS Tender, glossy strips of orange peel simmered in syrup and rolled in sugar.
