Makes about 100 strips A classic pairing around the holidays, orange and dark chocolate are delicious together! We will never look at an orange peel in quite the same way. It’s a simple process, just be sure to allow 1-2 days of “hands-off” drying time for the candied orange peels to dry into the perfect chewy consistency before dipping them into the dark chocolate. Chocolate Dipping Sauce Ingredients: Directions: 3. Fill a medium saucepan with 2 cups of the water and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and boil the orange peels for 15 minutes. Drain, rinse, and drain again. 4. Place the orange peels back into the saucepan. Add 4 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar to the saucepan. Reheat the orange peels over medium high heat stirring with a silicone spatula until all of the sugar dissolves. 5. Once the syrup boils, reduce the heat and bring the syrup to a simmer. Simmer for 1 hour, continuing to reduce the heat every so often to retain a low, constant simmer. The peel should become very soft and the syrup should reduce and become thick and syrupy. |
