I remember making these with orange peels. My cousin and I did it about 60 years ago. Brings back memories.
That is awesome, Richard! :)
how old are you congrats on living pretty long
@@Legend.Cam42 I'm 72 years old. Thanks.
@@dickworrall123 congrats on your 74th birthday, sorry if I'm really late
@@SurMo0seplush Not late. I will be 74 in April. Thanks for the Birthday wishes.
Oh man... My Great Aunt that lived in Orlando Florida use to have several orange trees in her yard. She use to make these when we visited and the syrup from them got used on waffles the next morning too! I haven't thought about these in many, many, years Matt!
Thanks for sharing! I think I will have to teach the kids how to make these this summer when we get decent oranges up here!
Such a great story, J! :) And you are very welcome! :)
Oh my! I've never heard of this before. I can't wait to try this now. Thank you Matt!
You are welcome, Ashley! :)
My candied orange peel came out amazingly well.
Thank you so much for the recipe!
I served it with a pumpkin roll log and everyone enjoyed both the cake and the candied peel so much.
That is awesome, Nina! I am glad you made it. :) You are welcome!
Hey Matt, I tried these about a week ago with clementine peels and they where delicious!!! My mom and my grandpa really liked them!
So awesome, Joel!!! :) :) Glad you tried them out and liked them. Great job!
Thank you. Can't wait to try!🙋🏽♀️
You are very welcome! :)
Thanks, great instructions...you made it look easy.
You are welcome, and thank you! :)
This is what I needed. Thanks a lot. You just saved my Christmas pudding.
You are very welcome!! :)
Wow I had no idea you could do this! I will have to try it! So cool!
For sure!! You definitely need to try it some time. :)
I'm making it now using your instructions, thanks!
Good luck, Kevin! Let me know how it turns out. :)
Thank you for this awesome recipe.
You are very welcome!
Hi Matt! Well I decided to make candied lemon peels too for my Stollen! Got the hang of it now! They taste and look great! TY for the inspiration!
Awesome, Ingrid! You are very welcome. :) :)
Simple and easy to follow thank you!
You are welcome!
Really nice! Easy. Just bought a nice bag of oranges at Sams and gonna make it today. I will be adding these to my Dresdner Stollen mid week! TY
Awesome, Ingrid, thank you! So glad you liked it. Let me know how it turns out once you make it. :)
Thank you so much!! I've never candied orange peel before and it's going in a cake recipe I want to try out. I'm excited to try this out now!!
You are welcome! Let me know how it turns out. :)
Try this same method to make crystalised ginger.
That is assuming that you like ginger.
Great if you're a bit under the weather just to chew on.
Awesome, thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you!! You are very welcome!
I had a batch of lemons of outstanding quality and decided to use this recipe in order to make lemon candied peel. It really is a great recipe, everything went well - although at the end I chickened out and poured the syrup coated peels onto a base of sugar and then poured sugar onto them. I got in enough of a sticky mess handling them the first time. They were easy to toss in sugar once mostly coated - at least the sugar was on them this time. I also saved the water from both boiled batches and added it to the syrup. I then brought both up to a high temperature and simmered and stirred them. I did can the liquid as it tasted absolutely amazing. It was good enough to use on its own or I could add it to juice and water to make a soda or such. Great recipe thanks.
PS May be worth adding a note to retain the water at the first stage as people could have discarded it by the time you mention it at a later point in the video.
Thank you glad you tried it and liked it!! Great idea about the note.
Thank you sir for sharing your expertise
You are very welcome! :)
You make this look so easy, I’ll definitely give it a go :)
Thanks!
These are wonderful, my Grandmother taught me how to make these many years ago, but have not tried them since. She used to cut them slightly thicker and soaked them in water for a couple of days to get rid of acidity. However, think your method is better, quicker just to boil. These make lovely little treats of gift to friends. Just found you on YT & subscribed. Thank you Matt. X:)
Thank you!! Yes! Soaking is a great way to do it, if you are patient, haha. I just do the boil method because it is quicker. So glad you found my channel and subscribed, I appreciate it! And you are very welcome :)
I am back to view again! I have eaten countless Le Parfait jars full of all candied citrus permutations, I am now using a different variety of lemon, one with slightly thinner rind. I have even made this recipe minus the zest altogether, just using the ends of the fruit to add the additional flavour. I tried that because I tend to peel/ grate the zest, then juice the fruit, then pull out the membranes and use the rind for the candy. Great way not to waste so much of the fruit - hooked! Thank you again for making a great recipe, with simple instructions!
You are welcome!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt It is citrus season again - I am trying this with grapefruit and Ugli fruit this time. Take care. Vox.
@@voxintenebris6367 Awesome, good luck! :)
Amazing project!
Thank you!
Amazing recipe!
Thank you!!
Matt, as always this is delicious! I've been looking for candied orange peels recipes at the store but I didn't really like them; too sweet, too hard, and too expensive. I am making them just now, I'll let you know how they've come as soon as they are ready. Thank you, Matt, Happy New Year, and be safe!
Glad you found this one, Robyn! You are welcome, yes, please let me know how they turn out. :)
@monilev1 How did they turn out?
@@violetviolet888 Hi Violet, they came out just great. I still have some left which are soft and sweet. I don't remember where I got the recipe from, quite sure it's on TH-cam. Give it a try!
The recipe is right here! What am I talking about! 😜
i haven't made these yet but i absolutely will! a lot of recipes i've seen for candied citrus are so finicky about the rind, i'm really glad to see one like this where i don't have to spend a ton of time and energy getting the pith off somehow. thank you for the recipe! your whole channel seems like a goldmine of practical cooking.
You are so very welcome! And thank you! :) :)
Awesome! Thanks!
Thank you! You are welcome!
Peel contains more than 60% of vitamin nutritions of the fruit.. Nice way to save it
Yes!! I should have gone into the health benefits of the peel, they are packed with nutrients! :)
I also make Orangecello to salvage goodness from the skins, the alcohol being a good preservative. Nice to have the candy option and the syrup though.
Doesn't the boiling remove some nutrients?
@@--TOM-- all heat sensitive vitamins, minerals usually are not affected by cooking , however most are probably cooked out in the water that gets pitched😉
Not overly healthy but still better than candy😊
I'm going to do it today ..looks interesting to myself..
Awesome!
Thanks for this video
You are very welcome! :)
Good morning! Update on my version of yours! I sugared them last night and kept them out. This morning they were soaked. Guess sugar draws water! I dried them up a bit, wrapped in paper towels and refrigerated. I thought I had blown it! I have a small counter top toaster/oven. Much easier to handle after fridge cooled. Placed in oven on tray and dehydrated on 225/230 degrees for about 2/3 hours. It worked! They are perfection! Just the right amount of sweetness and tartness! It is so good 😊! I’m keeping them stacked on paper towels and refrigerated. You could definitely Chocolate coat some, use as a garnish or in a vodka martini or in my Stollens I’m planning on making this week! Glad I ran into you here! I subscribed and will visit you again soon. This was worth the time and effort! 👍😃 TY
Glad you made them, Ingrid! :) The climate will also effect the drying process. Here in Arizona, where I live it is so dry, haha. Did you let them dry first before rolling in sugar? Let them dry until tacky then roll in the sugar and dry again. It takes at least 4 to 6 hours for them to dry after being rolled in sugar, here where I live in a very dry climate.
No. It was late and I figured 🤪if I sprinkled sugar over them I’d just brush off most of it in the morning and surprise! A tray of sugar water which had the same effect! The dehydration worked. And they are stiff but pliable and very appetizing and good looking! Wish I could send you pics! I keep going back to eat one. Leaves such a nice clean taste. 😊
@@ingridschor4413 hahaha nice! :)
Thanx for sharing!! From SouthAfrica
You are very welcome!! :) Thank you for watching in South Africa!
I just had some huge oranges in the fridge that weren’t to pleasent for eating (course/dry). I peeled them and filéed them (cut out the segments in between the white, so you only have pure fruit flesh) and added that to a batch of redcurrant jam together with a filéed lemon (the jam is soooo good!). The peel I plan to make this from, so thanks a lot for the video! 🤗
Awesome!! You are welcome. :)
Hi Lotta! I only use alcohol to soak my candied orange and lemon peels, nuts, raisins in for about a month, before I make my Christmas Stollens! Then after baking, the Dresden Stollens are left untouched and refrigerated for 6 weeks before slicing. Excellent taste and very German as I remember from my Oma! Thanks for the question!
This man is so pleasant. I hope 2020 didn’t kill his kindness.
Thank you!! I sure hope not! haha
Thank you good idea
You are so very welcome! :)
Hello I made your recipe today and it turned out yummy❤❤❤from India
Awesome, Debra! Glad you made it and liked it. You are welcome! And thank you for watching in India. :)
When you're boiling the peels, do they release the fragrance of orange into the kitchen? That'd be a real bonus!
Yep! :)
In The Kitchen With Matt mines smelt like shit
-Kudzu- LMFOAOAOAOAOA
First boiling no. Second boiling better. Now on sugar boil! Smells good. Will let you know! I’ve already soaked my ingredients in Kirschwasser 90%. Tried a couple tsp. 😳🤩it’s going to be awesome.
No orange scent at all! 😩
I will try
Please do!
Awesome peel recipe! Just made some yesterday with fresh harvested oranges. Great video😀👍
Thank you! Glad you made it. :)
Your copying and paysting this on different videos
Decided to make after I halfhazardly peeled a bunch of lemons for a recipe. I’m sure the next ones will be prettier though haha! Thanks for the recipe
hahaha awesome! :) And you are welcome!
Wow❤
Thank you!
Trying it right now with confectioners sugar (ran out of regular sugar yesterday) no idea what will come of it, I'll update when I'm done :)
Edit 1: almost done! It seems to be turning out great and the syrup tastes fantastic. So exited omg
Good luck!
Great idea! Many thanks. Off to the store goes I. ;-)
You are very welcome! :) :) Let me know how it turns out. :)
Good idea..... Good luck
Thanks!
I just made them and they are so delicious! But I cant eat all of them at once, should I refrigerate them or just put them in a bag?
You can just store them in a ziplock bag or airtight container in the pantry or on the counter for a few weeks. :)
Hi Matt...after making the candied peel.can I add wine to soak with raisins and prunes ?
Sure, I don't see why not.
I'm definitely gonna try this how does it taste
Let me know how it turns out! :)
HI Matt this second time around again watching this, but i have pineapple now I hope I can make it since pineapple different than this orange peel, thank you so much this recipe is great,,, your recipe,, yes only thanks...more power,, greetings
Hello, pineapple isn't a citrus. This recipe/video is for citrus peels only. To make candied pineapple, you need to do it a little bit differently. But the idea is the same. You boil the pineapple in a water/syrup low and slow until translucent. But you don't change the water at all. Because they aren't bitter, like orange peel. I will make a video about it. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt yes Matt I did same as what you mentioned..it thank you so ❤️ much
@@fukumoristar7176 You are welcome!
3:17 when you boil water it purifies it so it doesn’t matter
What are you referring to? What doesn't matter?
hi, is it possible cook in the syrup for too long or maybe I had the temp too high? I noticed a strange taste at the end, almost like caramel starting to come into the mixture. Is the recipe supposed to avoid caramelizing and more so just get the sugar into the peels?
Yes it absolutely is possible to cook it too long. The sugar will turn into caramel haha :) Yes if the sugar starts turning amber color it has gone too long. You want to avoid caramelizing, unless you want that flavor.
I was reading recipes on how to do this and needed a visual -- your video was wonderful. I have a bunch of limes I've used an old press juicer to juice, so they have some pulp and membrane still... think they would be okay to do like this? There is NO easy way to get that out now! I have another 50lbs of lemons to go through as well.....
hmmm yeah, there isn't an easy way to get that pulp and membrane after you put it in the juicer. I guess you could try slicing them into smaller pieces and see if you can dig them out. Good luck!! :) And thank you, glad you found the video helpful.
Can the candied orange peels be made with agave nectar instead of sugar?
Hi Renee, I have no idea, I haven't tried it. :) I think it will work. The main thing is the boiling process with water to get rid of the bitterness. Then you can use a sweetener. Give it a try and see. :)
In my country we make tea with the orange peel and taste great
Nice!
How many times do you boil and drain to take away the bitterness?
Hello Ann, there is not set number of times, usually it takes 2 or 3, but it can take longer. You can check it after the second time, by biting into a small piece to see if it is still bitter. :)
Hi! Aren't you supposed to take off the white part from the peel? It take away the bitterness I heard. Also if it's not organic,( chemically treated peels ) can you cook the chemicals out or it is better organic? Thank you for your answer 😊
Hello, nope do it just like I showed in the video. :) Rinsing them off really well first then cooking the peels will help reduce any chemicals that may be present. But if you are concerned about it, use organic. :)
Very nice
thank you, Loretta!
Do you have experience with day/half a day old peels? Will they be okay for candying?
I always use fresh peels. I imagine half day old peels will be okay. But again, I have always used fresh ones.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Okay, I'll try a batch of half day old peels and the fresh ones, to see how they turn out. Thanks for the quick reply and the recipe.
@@papagooseonline Great plan! And you are so very welcome. :)
Really enjoyed the video... and I have lemon peels in the pot for their 1st boil. Have you had anyone use a dehydrator to "dry the peels" to the point of tacky... just asking
Thank you, Dionne! Yes, I have heard of people using a dehydrator as well. :) Let me know how they turn out!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I sure will....
@@dionneblanchard4075 :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I ended up having to boil/change water 4 times. By the time it got to the boil in the sugar/water they started falling apart LOL. So the rolling in sugar part turned into ladling them onto plastic sheets used for making fruit leathers. I then sprinkled them with sugar and let them dehydrate over night. They turned out great and maybe with a thicker peel I wouldn't have had them fall apart. I'll try grapefruit peels next ! Thanks! I was going to post pictures but it won't let me.
@@dionneblanchard4075 Awesome Dionne! Yeah each type of peel will take different amount of boil times, since they will have different amounts of bitterness and may be thicker or thinner. :) Glad you are having fun trying out different ones! :)
do you need to make sure they are organic, so no chemicals on the skin?
I don't worry about it. But if you are worried, then buy organic. :) So the answer is, it is entirely up to you. :)
Thanks! I've been looking all over this year (2022) for peel, and I can't find any. Even the bulk foods seller here can't get them.
You are welcome! I don't think just the peel is sold by itself, you need to buy the actual oranges and then peel them.
I've seen them left in the syrup. Also yummy.
Wondering if you ever tried this process with violets or rose petals?
Yep that is great too. No I haven't done it with violets or rose petals. But seems like they would be yummy, not sure of they would hold up the same way, because they are way more delicate then an orange/citrus peel.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt True. Maybe there's a different process. I've been trying to learn and experimenting for years...
@@jonnaborosky8836 Yeah, there could be, although you can just eat the violet and rose petals fresh too if you like. But would be fun to try and candy them. I just think they are too delicate for this process, but then again I haven't specifically tried it.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt
I'm watching from the countryside near Paris, France. Here in France we have a candied violet candy which is a specialty of Toulouse. Not only are they delicious but they are beautiful. Thank you for your recipes. I add tiny cubes of candied orange peels to my crêpes Suzette..
Take care.
@@isabellelaval7294 Awesome, thank you for watching in France! :)
This may be just what I was looking for - I impulse purchased a pomelo (🤣) and was trying to figure out something easy to do with all that skin! Maybe it will take a little extra boiling with a skin that thick, but hey, it’s a method that won’t take me a week 😆
LOL I have never tried it with pomelo and I LOVE pomelo I have two pomelo videos here on my channel haha. And yes that is a lot of skin you get from them. Definitely give it a try and let me know how it turns out!
I like to boil my peels with the juice of the oranges with sugar until the juice cooks out on low. Sometimes roll them in sugar i like to dry them out in the oven .
Cool!
All this time I've been throwing away peel,smh. I'm curious before u coat them in sugar,can you leave them dry and dip them in chocolate? Or if you're using lime peels could you dip it in white chocolate?
Sure you can totally coat them in chocolate! :) And yes you can dip them in white chocolate as well if you are doing lime peels. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thank you for the response in the kitchen with Matt! So many recipes that you could use for candied peels,i just saw a orange loaf cake recipe. And for the recipe you can use it in teas or just a plain simple syrup for a cake or in some adult beverages.
Hey matt😃 I tried this and now it’s drying for 24 hours please let me know. Are they good?
Hi there, Aliza, it doesn't need to try for 24 hours. :) Only a few hours is long enough. I like them!
In The Kitchen With Matt ty!
9:00 I never knew that you can eat a citrus peel they look like French fry’s :)
hahaha :) Yeah, they are awesome!
I want to try it with my Yuzu, It should work with any citrus you think?
yes! I think it would work just fine with Yuzu. And yes it should work the same with any citrus.
Thx Mate, I will give it a go👍
@@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower You are very welcome, let me know how it turns out :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I will Mate, Harvest is next April👌
@@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower Nice!
Can you use brown sugar for the sugar syrup? Anyone done that? I’m simply asking because I only have enough white sugar to coat them and I don’t plan on shopping today but have lots of orange and lemon peel ready to cook in the fridge… 🤗😋
I have never tried it with brown sugar. But you can make simple syrup with brown sugar, so I don't see why not. I think it will add a caramel flavor to the peels though.
To candy ginger you would just simmer the cut up ginger for the whole half hour then follow the same process with the simple syrup???
Pretty similar yes. Peel the ginger root and cut into thin slices. Add to a pot of water on medium-high heat and cook for 30 to 40 minutes. No need to switch the water. Save some of the water after you drain the ginger, like 1/2 cup of it. Then add 2 cups of sugar to that ginger water. Bring that to a boil and let the sugar dissolve then add the ginger. Reduce the heat to medium/medium low and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes, make sure to stir. Then drain and let them cool on a rack, for a few hours before dipping them in sugar, then let them dry. So yes pretty similar! :) Some people will also just keep simmering it until the water is completely gone and the sugar crystalizes on the soft ginger, then cool it. No need to dip it later.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt
Thank you! 😀👍
@@swe2cie You are welcome! :)
Do you know that you can drink the water after boiling it
Yep you sure can, and use it in other drinks if you like. I mention that in the recipe on my website.
Could I add lemon juice somewhere in the recipe to make them a bit sour? If so, where?
You could add it along with the water and sugar that they cook in.
Where should we store the syrup if we don’t use it immediately
I would store it in like a mason jar or another airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Is it ok if i dont remove the pith of it?
What do you mean? I didn't remove the pith from the peel.
just tried it and it was great but don't you need to take the pith off?
Great! No, you don't need to take the pith off. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Ok thx for responding very quickly!
👏👏👏🍊🍊🍊
Thank you, Farrah! :)
They tasted amazing I tried with lemons and it didn’t taste very good
Thanks! :)
I loved the lemons. They both taste so fresh!
after putting on the sugar power . . it become dry on for a few minute after that it start melting can you please help me😭😭😭
You need to let it dry longer, after you cook it down in the sugar solution and remove it, place it on a wire rack. Let it dry until tacky or even more dry. Then roll it in sugar. If the sugar still melts a little, roll it in more sugar and let it dry some more. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thank's
@@zoi66 You are welcome!
Sorry I know this is a dumb question but why not just dump all the peels into the sugar and use a wire flour sifter to separate the sugar. Much faster
Because they are very sticky and will stick to each other if you do that. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I understand what you’re saying but I’ve never had a problem. I use a tumbler but put sugar in it.
@@asianwhiteguy3472 cool not everyone has a tumbler.
are they bitter at all ?
They can be if you don't boil them enough. Some people like a slight bitter taste. Otherwise just boil and drain, like I do in the video until the bitterness is gone. And then move on to the candy phase.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thank you !
You should try doing it with Yuzu (Japanese )citrus 🍊 fruit. That is really tasty 👅
Nice!
some other person on youtube does a 6+ day process for candying peel....wonder how much of a difference in taste, texture, etc. Thanks for video, maybe someone can do a comparison video?
This taste great as is, can't imagine a 6 day process making it taste any better. But you can always try making both and see for yourself instead of waiting for someone to do a comparison video.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt hahaha, yeah, I know, I will probably do the comparison (and make a video?) I can't imagine it being/tasting much different. Thanks for the reply!
@@ldlink3935 You are welcome and good luck!!
@@ldlink3935 Which channel is that and what is the title of the video?
@@violetviolet888 Title: "Simple Candied Orange Peel Recipe" channel: Sourlotti by Abby . . Their recipe/process is 6+ days. I tried making the following recipe -- title: How "To Make Candied Lemon Peel & Orange Peel ✪ MyGerman.Recipes" and it came pretty good, or better than expected. It was only a few hour process. It helps to find an (organic) orange that has a thick peel. I tried the "MyGerman" recipe twice, once it came as expected, the second time it came a bit mushy---maybe my heat was too high, or I used less sugar, don't know what happened. The 6 day process probably provides more consistent results. Good luck, please let me know how it goes with whatever you do.
In my country we use the pith of grapefruit to make a dessert. Yes, I said pith. It's delicious. Look it up on TH-cam cocina con fujito.
Yes you are correct the white part is called pith. And that is cool!
How am I supposed to know when to take the peels off the stove? I don’t want to over or under do it :)
It's hard to over do it, you take them off when the peels look translucent, (a bit see through). You can kind of see it in the video, but it will be obvious in person. :)
You should drink this water from orange peel,it's very healthy.
Yep good idea, very high in vitamin C.
We have a same process but why is my orange peel taste bitter
Hello, you need to keep boiling it and changing the water. Like I mention in the video, you may have to do it more times, it just depends on the oranges you use. Just keep boiling then changing the water, and boil more. Until it no longer tastes bitter.
Thank you so much🙂
@@johannatenajeros389 You are welcome!
doesn't the water has all the Vit C?
Not all of it, but some of it yes, so don't throw it out, you can use it if you want.
I did the same method but mine turn out bitter
You need to boil them longer or a few more times, to remove the bitterness, like I mention in the video. :)
I tried making this, but i made the mistake of adding more sugar to the peels than needed so I ended up just making a jam lol
lol good tasting jam I bet! hahaha :)
i eat the peels normaly, but i sometimes need more than that to control my pica
i also like freezing the normal peels so that i can have something chill to snack on instead of ice cream or juice
Nice!
Cool!
why could u not have a little bit of bitter
Oh you certainly can, if you like a little bitterness, you don't need to boiled it in the water as long.
anything rolled
with sugar would be good.
Very true!! haha :)
Or you can use tongs to remove lemon slices from the syrup. Save time by putting lemon slices and sugar in a zip-loc bag and rolling them around. And, sugar syrup can be used in sweetening tea and baked goods. Just saying!
Yes many ways to do it
8:10 milk
Hi no, not milk, that is granulated sugar. No milk is used in this recipe.
You should let them first sit in some salty water overnight, this will take most of the bitterness .
I am too impatient for that, haha, but you can do that if you like. :) This way that I show works great and is the traditional method.
Let me know the health benefits of this?
Not many health benefits it is considered a candy.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Well, the rind is full of fibre.
@@jonnaborosky8836 Yep, that is true, and of course vitamin c. but with all the sugar, it kind of cancels the health benefits out, haha. :)
Tip… limes can be hard to peel. I’m doing orange and lemon. If you have a cut on your finger wear runner gloves. I didn’t. OUCH!!!!
While all citrus peels can be used, some are easier to peel than others. And yes citrus and cuts on your fingers and hands don't mix well.
This video is, at times, word for word the same as Everyday Food’s video lol. The only difference was that the rind was boiled twice in regular water and then it was boiled for much longer in the simple syrup.
I think you are mistaken, there is no way they are word for word. Similar, probably, because there really is only 1 maybe two ways to make this, so of course they are similar.
and you keep the citrus sugar water for recipes
Yep lots of uses for the citrus water. Especially drinks, tea, etc.
I kinda enjoy boiling lemon and orange peels in the sugar water, not coating and half oven or dehydrating...pretty good snack, yet definitely have to coat ginger after several boils to remove alittle over spice bite for an in between and or dice into fine peices for bread, or other recipes combined for a nice balance.
PS - Don't toss the citrus water - It can be utilized by adding alittle vinegar as a safe natural cleaner.
Yup you can, lemon works a little better however than orange for that. It is stronger.
I agree with you, in that the lemon with vinegar is a better natural cleaner. I meant to express, and forgot, that in utilizing the orange water along after straining, and adding abit more water either tap, distilled, or purified water to spray as a lovely air freshener, or even a spritz for car care. Plus taking dried peels combined in a slightly opened bag that can heat up in the car to maintain a nice scent.
With this item a big story happened today.
I saw this video yesterday. Asked my dad and mom orange. They said tomorrow. Dad went and told, there is long que, I will buy evening. I distrusted him and made head ache for him. He went again for me in lock down, in sunny, in head ache, without eating his lunch. he had no money. But bought one some other country orange with high cost. I became happy and started making this. I distrusted my mom for buying oranges . So my mom got anger and not helped to make this. I did this with the help of my dad. Video said to boil the orange peel 2 - 3 times. I told my dad same. 2 times went. 3rd time he dropped whole vessel. All gone waste. My father felt bad. I know if I cry. My dad will feel even more sad. So i tried not to cry. But i can't control, I cried. Seeing me, my dad said ..I am feeling like heart attack when u cry. My dad said I will bring one more orange for u. I said dad .. it's okay. Dad got tention, called mom. Then mom made orange peel with rest things . She then doing all what I saying. Dad was watching from back, sadly. Finally mom and me did it. Tasted .........
BITTER
BITTER
BITTER.
BUT, My dad ate it saying, delicious, I got happy.
Prayed to God.
Thnx for for giving me best parents.
I never want my parents to get hurt anymore . There happiness is mine .
Be blessed.
Love you dad and mom...❤
Glad you tried it. I do mention in the video if they are bitter to keep boiling them or boil them longer. :) It just sounds like you needed to boil them more. :)
Ngl that a satsuma
I can't remember what type of orange it was. It may have been a satsuma , or a navel, or sunkist orange.
