How to make candied orange peels
Hi Alka,
To make candied orange peels – peel the tangerines and remove the white pith. You will have thin peels left with you. Meanwhile make sugar syrup by mixing water and sugar on medium flame and dunk in the peels. Cook them for 5 mins on low flame together until the peels soak up the sugar syrup. Lay them on a lined tray overnight in room temperature. Enjoy!!!
