Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Orange peels
  • 2 Lime peels
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 2 cups Water

Instructions
 

  • Cut the orange and lime peels into thin strips.
  • Place the strips in a saucepan, cover with water, and boil for 10 minutes. Drain the water, cover with fresh water, and repeat this boiling and draining process one more time.
  • Prepare the sugar syrup by simmering the sugar and water together in the saucepan until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the blanched peels to the sugar syrup. Simmer the mixture until the peels look translucent, which takes about 50 minutes.
  • Remove the peels from the syrup and spread them out on parchment paper to dry overnight.
