 My Christmas bakings are almost incomplete without candied orange peels. This is another essential ingredient for making the Christmas cake apart from Candied Ginger! Though easily available in market but I love to prepare Candied Orange Peels just because of the residue Syrup which I use while making flavoured Tea or Sorbet and even sometimes in Cocktails and Mocktails. These Candied Orange Peels are often used as a mouth freshener and they are good source of vitamin C.
