Candied Orange Peel Dices Method: Made with the peel of Chuzhou oranges, these candied orange peels are delicious, and I couldn't bear to waste the peels. Candied orange peels can be eaten in syrup, added to rice porridge, or used to make popular orange peel toast or orange biscuits.

　　Ingredients

　　Orange peel: 120g

　　Water: Sufficient amount

　　Rock sugar: 115g

　　White sugar: 50g + 40g

　　Sealed jars: 2 small ones

　　Steps for Making Candied Orange Peel Dices

　　1. Dice the orange peel. If you are extremely sensitive to bitterness, remove the white pith first.

　　2. Removing bitterness: Put the diced orange peel in a pot, add cold water and bring to a boil, pour out the water, and add cold water again and bring to a boil. During the second boil, the orange peel dices will sink to the bottom, so keep the lid open during the second boil and stir occasionally with a utensil. As the water boils, the orange peel dices will gradually float. At this point, keep the water boiling and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove the orange peel and set aside; discard the water.

　　3. Boil the sugar syrup: Rock sugar is difficult to melt, so boil it first. Add a bowl of rock sugar and boil, then add 50g of white sugar and boil. Keep the water boiling over medium heat. When the liquid in the pot starts to thicken, add the diced orange peel.

　　4. Cook over medium-low heat until the bubbling sound becomes louder, the liquid becomes less and thicker, and turn off the heat when it is almost like honey.

　　5. After cooling, the consistency of the liquid will be like honey. If the water is too much and a little thin, you can heat it in the microwave for a few minutes to quickly evaporate the water.

　　6. Scald the sealed jars with boiling water for one minute, let them dry, and then let them dry again, because hot water evaporates faster. (Even a little water is fine. Candied fruit has a high sugar content and is not easy to spoil, and the amount made is small, so it can be used up quickly if shared by the whole family). Spread 3g of white sugar, granulated sugar, or caster sugar on the bottom of each jar, then spread a layer of candied orange peel dices, 3g of white sugar, then another layer of candied orange peel dices, and so on. Spread four layers of white sugar and four layers of candied orange peel dices, and seal with 8g of white sugar.

　　7. The white sugar will quickly be absorbed by the liquid. This is a comparison of the two jars, one minute apart.
