Candied Orange Peels

1. 1

   Scrub 5 oranges and slice off the tops and bottoms. Cut away the outermost peel, leaving behind the bitter white pith. Slice the peels into 1/4-inch strips and place them in a saucepan with enough water to cover them. Boil uncovered until the strips are tender, about 10 minutes; drain. (You can repeat this step with fresh water to leech out bitterness, if desired). Combine 1 cup each sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Add peels and simmer for about 30 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly before tossing with sugar to coat. Place peels on a baking rack to cool completely.
