Marmalade lovers will gravitate to snacks of candied orange peel. They’re not very hard to make. Be sure to purchase organic oranges and scrub and rinse the peels well before processing.

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 T corn syrup
• 1 cup prepared orange peel (see below)

Combine the sugar, water, corn syrup, and prepared peel in a pot and cook slowly until the peel is almost transparent (230ºF).

Remove peel and place on a plate to cool. Roll in granulated sugar and spread on wax paper to dry. Store in a sealed container.

To prepare peel: Cut into sections. Cover with cold water. Bring to boil and cook about 15 minutes. Drain and scrape out the white part and cut into thin strips.
