Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp orange peel from organic oranges
  • 200 g sugar

Method
 

  1. For this recipe, you must remove the white part of the peel (the "pith"):
    If the orange is already peeled with the pith still on the peels, put the peels upside down on a wooden board and, with a sharp knife, scrape the pith off the orange peel.
    Or, if the orange is still intact, thinly cut off the peel from the fruit, leaving the pith on the orange.
  2. Either way, cut the peels into pieces, mix them with sugar and put them into a blender. Mix until the sugar and peel are powdery.
  3. Distribute the moist mixture on a baking tray and let it dry in the oven at low heat until it’s completely dry.
  4. Let the orange sugar cool down and, if necessary, break it up.
  5. Store the orange sugar in a tight container. Essentially, it’ll last indefinitely, but it’s best consumed within a year of its creation. With time, it'll lose flavour.

Notes

Use your homemade orange sugar in cakes or desserts, mix it in hot cocoa or just drizzle it over pancakes.
