Title: Candied orange peel
 Categories: Fruits, Holiday
      Yield: 3 Servings
 
           INGREDIENTS:
      8    Oranges
           Water
      1 c  Boiling water
      4 c  Sugar
 
  Makes about 3-4 lbs of candy.
  
  (TIP):   Collect  the  orange  halves over a period of time and
  refrigerate them in a plastic bag until you have enough to prepare
  candied peel. You may candy *whole* orange halves, if you wish.
   Just boile them without cutting them into strips. When cooled, they
  make lovely containers for candies and nuts, or holiday desserts.
  
  Wash the oranges.  Cut into halves and squeeze out the juice. Use the
  juice for some other purpose,  of course. Place the oranges into a
  large saucepan and cover with cold water.
  
  Place over high heat and heat to a boil.   Add cold water to cover
  again. Heat to a boil and drain.
   Repeat this process five times in all. Drain well and scoop out the
  pulp. Cut the oranges into 1/4 inch wide strips.
  
  Combine  1 cup of boiling water with 2 cups of the sugar. Heat until
  the sugar is dissolved.   Stir in the orange strips. Place over
  medium heat and boil for about 30  minutes,  until  all  the liquid
  is evaporated. Watch carefully so the peels don't scorch.
   Cool.   Roll the strips  in  the remaining 2 cups of sugar. Place on
  waxed paper  to  dry. Package and store in airtight containers.
