1 1/2 c. sugar
3/4 c. water
Peel from 4 med. size oranges

Remove peel in quarters. Cover with cold water. Bring slowly to boiling point. Boil until tender. Drain. Cut into strips with scissors. Make syrup of sugar and water. (Water in which peel was cooked may be used if a stronger flavor is desired.) Add the orange peel to the syrup. Cook until syrup is nearly all absorbed. Lift peel out of syrup. Drain and roll each piece in granulated sugar. Yields about 3 1/2 cups.

NOTE: If you boil the peel about 10 minutes and then drain and cover with fresh water to finish cooking you will not have as strong a flavor. Grapefruit or lemon peel may also be used.
