Orange

Preparation steps

1.
Use a vegetable peeler to pare the zest from the oranges. Remove as much of the white pith from the zest before cutting the zest into ½ cm / ¼” wide strips.
2.
Cook the strips of zest in a saucepan of simmering water for 10 minutes. Drain well and set them to one side.
3.
Combine the equal amounts of sugar and water in a heavy-based saucepan. Cook over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and a syrup forms.
4.
Add the strips of orange zest and gently simmer them in the syrup for 30 minutes until soft and translucent.
5.
Line a large baking tray or wire rack with a sheet of greaseproof paper and lift the strips of zest onto the paper. Leave the peels to cool and dry until tacky to the touch; 1 hour.
6.
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set atop a half-filled saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted and remove the bowl from the heat.
7.
Dip half of the peels into the melted chocolate before returning them to the greaseproof paper to set. Chill the chocolate and plain peels for 1 hour before serving.
