Making candied orange peels from scratch is not difficult; it just requires patience and dedication. The hands-on time is minimal, but you will need to wait 7 to 10 days for the candying process to finish.
Some people say to double the weight of the peels to get the weight of water and sugar needed; others suggest multiplying by three, to make sure you have enough syrup for storing. After trying both ways, I’ve decided that the perfect amount for me is two and a half times.
