Number Of Ingredients 7

For the Candied Orange Peel
5 oranges
Water
Salt
2 1/3 cups sugar
For Dipping
10 1/2 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa)

Steps:

  • Making the Candied Orange Peel
  • Wash the oranges and remove the peel with a sharp vegetable peeler, avoiding any white pith. Put the orange peel in a saucepan with 4 cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and boil for 5 Minutes. Drain. Repeat this process one more time.
  • Put 1 cup of the sugar and 1 2/3 cups water in a clean saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the blanched orange peel to the boiling syrup, immediately remove from the heat, cover the pan, and set aside overnight at room temperature.
  • The next day, drain the peel, reserving the syrup. Add 1/3 cup of the remaining sugar to the reserved syrup, bring to a boil, and return the peel to the syrup. Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside overnight at room temperature. Repeat this process three more times, over three nights, adding 1/3 cup sugar each time. Once the peel is candied, let drain at room temperature for 1 day, then cut into thin slivers. (The peel can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 month.)
  • Dipping
  • Temper the dark chocolate . Using a fork, dip each strip of candied orange peel in the chocolate, then lay it on an acetate sheet. Refrigerate the chocolate-dipped strips for 10 Minutes before detaching from the sheet. (Store in a cool place away from moisture for up to 1 month.)

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield about 12 candied peels

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large navel orange
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Using a vegetable peeler, cut the orange part of the peel from the stem end of the orange down to the navel end, forming long 3/4 to 1-inch-wide strips. Bring a heavy small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the peels and cook for 1 minute. Drain and then rinse the peels under cold water. Repeat cooking the peels in the saucepan with fresh boiling water and rinsing under cold water.
  • Stir the sugar and 1/2 cup of fresh water in a heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil. Add the orange peels and simmer over medium-low heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the peels to a sheet of parchment paper to dry slightly, about 1 hour.
  • Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir the chocolate in a small bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until melted and smooth. Dip 1 1/2-inches of each candied orange peel into the chocolate then place them on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.

DARK CHOCOLATE COVERED CANDIED ORANGE PEELS

You know how the "home made" version of something is always better? Imagine a home made "Terry's Chocolate Orange"!

Categories     Candy

Time P1DT6h

Yield 72 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 sunkist oranges
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
water, for blanching

Steps:

  • Cut oranges in half. Juice the halves.
  • "Gut" the orange halves of all pulp & pith.
  • Slice the halves into strips or triangles (I do triangles).
  • Blanch orange peels so they will retain their colour.
  • Candie the orange peels: aproximately 1/2 cup water & 1 cup sugar per 3 oranges; bring all 3 to a boil then immediately reduce heat to a simmer; simmer until all liquid has been absorbed by the oranges; STIR FREQUENTLY!
  • Toss the candied orange peels in sugar to lightly coat, then spread in one layer on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in a low temperature oven (200 to 250F) until orange peels are sticky but not wet.
  • COOL.
  • Melt dark chocolate in a double-boiler and proceed to dip the candied orange peels in the chocolate and lay on waxed paper in a cool, dry place to set. A cold cellar is ideal. If you have a garage, there is good in colder climates.
  • ***One of the best things about these candies is that you can spread out making them over a week or two! Refrigerate orange peels after each step in an airtight container.
  • ***Use oranges with very thick peels. I find sunkist oranges are very good to use for that reason.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 3 cups, about

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large navel oranges
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups water
3 tablespoons corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate baking squares
1 tablespoon shortening

Steps:

  • With a sharp knife, score orange peel into four wedge-shaped sections. Loosen peel with a spoon and remove; save fruit for another use.
  • Place peel in a heavy saucepan and cover with cold water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Drain, then repeat process twice, draining well each time. Cool for 5 minutes.
  • Carefully scrape off excess pulp from peel. Cut the peel into 1/4 inch strips.
  • In another saucepan, combine sugar, water, corn syrup and salt. Cook over medium heat until clear. Add orange peel strips; boil gently until all syrup is absorbed and peel is transparent, about 30-35 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer strips to wire racks for at least 3 hours or until dry.
  • Melt the chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip each strip halfway into chocolate. Dip the other half in sugar if desired.
  • Cool on racks that have been coated with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. Yield: about 3 cups.

Tips:

  • Choose organic oranges with bright, blemish-free skin for a more flavorful and vibrant candied peel.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the orange peel into even strips. This will help the peel cook evenly and absorb the sugar syrup better.
  • To remove the bitterness from the orange peel, blanch it in boiling water for a few minutes before candying it. This will also help to soften the peel and make it more pliable.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make the sugar syrup. This will help to prevent the sugar from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Bring the sugar syrup to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the syrup has thickened slightly.
  • Add the orange peel strips to the sugar syrup and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the peel is translucent and has absorbed the syrup.
  • Remove the orange peel strips from the sugar syrup and let them cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, dip the peel strips in melted chocolate and let them set on parchment paper.

Conclusion:

Chocolate-dipped candied orange peel is an elegant and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion. This recipe is easy to follow and can be customized to your liking. You can use different types of chocolate, such as dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate. You can also add other toppings, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt.
