Cooking orange peel: 

Cut the peel of 3 oranges in four, remove it delicately without tearing

Remove most of the white part of peel

Then cut the orange peels in stripes, and dice half of the stripes in small chunks

Add all peel into a pot and cover with water, bring to boil and let boil for three minutes, drain, change water and repeat the operation 3 times

Then, into the same pot, add 1 1/2 cups water and 1 1/2 cups sugar, stir until sugar is dissolved, bring to a boil on medium heat, add orange peel and cook until orange peel are translucent and the syrup is thick, may take up to an hour

3 recipes and storage:

Cover a baking sheet with white sugar, and add orange peel stripes, turn them over into the sugar and let them dry, once dried, melt about 1 cup of chocolate of your choice and dip as many as you want into the melted chocolate, place them on parchment paper and let chocolate harden into the fridge.

I suggest that you don’t dip them all in chocolate, store candied stripes into a jar in your pantry

As for the diced orange peel, pour them into two jars with the syrup, add 2 tbsp of rum (optional) to one of them and store into the fridge.
