Candied whole pieces of orange peel can be used in a variety or baking or used as decorations for cakes and are particularly popular around the festive period.
To make glace orange peel, the fruit is peeled and the peel is immersed in a hot sugar syrup (sugar and water) and candied for a minimum of 2 hours. During this process the moisture is significantly reduced from the fruit and the sugar candies it eventually preserving the orange peel and making it sweet and edible. The candied orange peel is then dried for hours producing an ingredient for cakes and sweet treats.
