How to make confit orange

Ok, confit orange, let's go!

3 Oranges!

Peel oranges and keep oranges for juice or segments

Finely slice orange peel

Place into a pan

Cover with cold water and bring to the boil.

Boil and take off straight away

Drain

Put back into pan and start again

Do this two more times

The reason we bring the peel up to boil from cold water 3 times is to take away the bitterness from the peel

Scale 300g caster sugar

And 300ml of water

Heat till sugar is dissolved

Like this

Add orange peel and simmer for 25-35 minutes

And there you have it folks, Confit Orange. Place into a jam jar, keep in fridge and use on top off your desserts

It's a pretty easy recipe to remember. 3 Oranges 3 times blanch 300g sugar 300ml water 30 minutes simmer, +- Great with chocolate:)
