I think she likes the idea of using orange peels that would normally go in the compost pile!
They take a little fuss, but it is not difficult and require little in the way of ingredients.
A two- or three-for!
So I dont worry about it so much.
I end up with some pieces wider than others, close enough is perfect here.
Actually, its a three-for since you could also reserve some to just dip in coarse sugar.
This makes quite a bit, but I usually double the recipe to keep everyone happy.
Family friendly
The best part?
These will shrink a little in the blanching and simmering process.
Next, we trim the peels to even them up.
They dont all need to be the same size, but I like to even up ragged edges.
Fill a pan halfway with waterand add the orange slices.
Bring to a boil and cook for a minute or so.
Drain, rinse under cold water, and rinse out the pan.
Repeat this process two more times!
In a second pan,combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer until the sugar all dissolves.
it’s possible for you to do this in a low oven, 250 degrees.
In the morning, they will still be tacky.
You will probably have chocolate left over.
Im not sure how long any of these will keep since they go pretty fast!
Real Christmas Snow A great weekend to stay indoors and cook!
