6 lb (3 Kg) Oranges
1 Gallon(3.8 Lt) Water
8 lb ( 4 Kg) White Sugar
If you like sweet, you will love this Orangettes recipe! Mostly since you can make them with the orange peels that you would otherwise trash. They are so delicate and delicious that you will soon be eating oranges just as an excuse to get enough orange zest to fulfill your Orangettes needs.
Cut the orange in four pieces and with your hands peel it taking the peel from one of the points making sure to take it together with the white part.
Soak the peels in water at room temperature for at least 3 days (in a big container) exchanging the water daily. Cut the orange peel pieces lengthwise, of about a quarter of an inch wide.
Dip the peels in boiling water for 2 minutes (use a drainer or similar tool) and move into cold water. Repeat this process three times.
Make a syrup using 1 Gallon water and 4 lb of sugar
Place in a thick simmering syrup for 4 hours, let them cool down and place in a cardboard box alternating layers of sugar with layers of peels. Keep them in the box for a week (if you can refrain the temptation of eating them earlier), remove the sugar and they are ready to go!
