Every time I eat an orange, I feel sad when I throw away the peel. I love its smell and color, but I know I can’t make candied orange peels every time I have one…
So every once in a while I decide to go for it, just because they are so yummy.
Next time you have a beautiful juicy orange maybe try doing this recipe!
