Boil the orange peel in water for two minutes to draw out the bitter flavors. Let it cool, toss out the water, and repeat the process two more times.
Weigh the orange peel and set it aside. Add the same amount of water and sugar to a saucepan. Cook over low heat until it turns into a sugar syrup. In the meantime, cut the orange peel into slices.
When the sugar syrup boils, add the peel and let it simmer until the syrup cooks away. Remove the peel and let it cool on a piece of wax paper dusted with sugar.
Sounds outstanding! I’ve been meaning to try my hand at making panpepato for quite a few years now. With your recipe in hand, this might be the year.
Give it a try!
I'm sure yours is better, but I could've probably fit 30,000 candied orange peel from Sicily in my suitcase. I eat them all day long. Pants are tight.
Oh gosh, the Sicilian ones are for sure better, because the oranges themselves are better! 🍊🍊🍊. I might take you up on that next time.
Looks wonderful! How do you make the candied orange peel?

It’s easy, just a little putsy.
