Sugar Coated Orange Peels

Ingredients
The peel of an orange, sliced into 1/8 inch (3mm) strips
1 cup of water
1 cup super fine sugar
In a sauce pan put the water on medium heat. Add half of the sugar and boil for 6 minutes to make a light syrup. Add the peel strips and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat. Lift the strips with the help of a two-pronged fork. Lay the strips in a plate and let them cool down. Put the rest of the sugar in a plate and roll the peel strips until completely covered. Spread the strips on parchment paper and let them dry for 30-45 minutes. Store on an air tight jar in the refrigerator.
