Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • orange peels

Method
 

  1. Either cut the peel off the orange thinly so that you leave the pith (the "white stuff" underneath the peel) on the fruit. Or, if you just have the peels, put them upside down onto a wooden board and, with a sharp knife, scrape the pith off the peels.
  2. Put the peels on a baking tray and let them dry in the oven at low heat. Alternatively, dry them in a dehydrator.
  3. Test if the peels are completely dry by breaking them in half. If they're still bendy, put them back in the oven. If they break with a snap, they're ready.
  4. Let the dried peels cool down.
    Put them into a blender and grind them until they've become a powder.
  5. Store the orange powder in a closed jar at a cool, dry and dark place.

Notes

Use orange powder wherever you need a bit of orange flavour, i.e. in cakes, salad dressings or savoury dishes.
