Festivals are round the corner and it is the time when I soak my fruits and nuts for preparing various desserts. I usually used to buy Candied Orange Peel readymade. This time, I decided to give it a try at home and trust me, it came much better than the store bought ones and at absolutely no cost. My son loved eating Candied Orange Peel. For making, these delicious treats all you need is a cup of sugar. I have already made Candied Ginger and shared it in another post. These can be used in the preparation of Christmas Fruit Cake or as a filling in a variety of Christmas sweets and desserts as well.

As kids do not like eating desi sweets, making an altogether different sweet like Candied Orange Peel is a really good idea. Tangy, chewy from the interior and full of sugary exterior, Candied Orange Peel was loved by adults and elderly people of my family as well. If you are tempted to prepare Candied Orange Peel then do read my step-by-step guide for making Candied Orange Peel at home:
