ORANGE PEEL CANDY..KIDS DELIGHT

Hi All,
Now it is season of oranges so make everything and anything possible with oranges.I got this idea for youtube video , but I was surprised how it tastes.So immediately I tried with orange peel and it was awesome .My daughter liked it so much.The recipe is as below,
INGREDIENTS :
Orange peel – 1 orange
Sugar – 1/2 cup.
Water – 1/2 cup.
Water – 2 cups ( for boiling orange peel).

METHOD :
  1. Peel the orange skin and clean the fibres from it.
  2. Slice it to thin stripes.
  3. Heat 2 cups of water in a wide vessel and add the sliced orange peel and boil for 5 mins.
  4. Remove from flame , drain the water and again boil in fresh water.
  5. Repeat the process 3 times ( this is done to remove the bitterness from orange peel).
  6. Now you can see the orange peel has turned transparent and glossy.
  7. Drain the water and let it rest for 5 mins until the sugar syrup is ready.
  8. In a wide vessel add sugar and water , boil till the sugar dissolves .Now add the boiled orange peel and boil till the water evaporates and orange peel absorbs the syrup completely.

  9. Remove from vessel and place in wired rack for 30 mins or more until the candy dries up.
  10. Now sprinkle sugar or powdered sugar and refrigerate for 30 mins.
  11. Remove from fridge and enjoy.

NOTES :
  1. You can use this candy in making cakes , just chop the Candy to small pieces and add to your fruits cake.
  2. If stored in airtight container the candy remains fresh for 1 week too .
     HAPPY COOKING!!

The cleaning part is little tricky but easy, I suggest once you finished cleaning dispose the waste immediately out of your house as the waste from squid fish is very smelly and also it starts leaving water .So dispose the waste of squid as quick as possible. Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have
