Ingredients

  • 10 firm, large oranges

Method

  1. Wash the oranges. Peel thin layers with a peeler and leave a little pith on the orange. Save the oranges for a fruit salad.
  2. Cut the orange peel into slivers of desired length.
  3. Place the slivers in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook for 10 minutes over medium heat. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water
