Tangerine Dreams and Candied Orange Peel - #6 of 365

Candied Orange Peel (or any citrus peel) is something my Mum made every Christmas. However, she made us all crazy with her preparations as she did too much. I haven't ever made this before, but I have been missing it, so I decided that I would since we had the oranges to hand.



Simple syrup and orange peel, boil, boil, boil. Easy peasy and yummy too. I shall dip these in dark chocolate after they have set.



I am wearing this scarvelette which is loosely based on Ysolda Teague's Damson. I have chosen to call this scarvelette, Tangerine Dreams for obvious reasons.
