MAKES 40 - 50 STRIPS

3 navel oranges
1 cup sugar

Trim 1/2'' off ends of navel oranges, then make a slit in rinds and scoop out flesh. Slice peels into 1/3-inch-wide strips, put in a bowl, cover with water, and refrigerate overnight. Transfer strips to a medium pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Drain strips and set aside. In same pot bring sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil until sugar dissolves. Add strips. Simmer until soft and glazed, about 30 minutes. Dry strips on a rack until tacky. Roll in sugar and dip ends in melted chocolate, if you like.

Texture is easy to bite, bitterness is away and fruity, fresh taste is awesome. The pleasant aftertaste lingers long in the mouth. And that extra sugar is like a candy itself.

I could eat them all right away.

:blush: Maybe I will.

I love those things. My wife had a uncle that owned a bakery and would make those and candied grapefruit peel at Christmas time. Some he had half dipped in chocolate.
