Ingredients
  • 2-3 oranges
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 3 cups water
  • Few bars of dark chocolate
  • oil – ½ tsp
Instructions
  1. Scrub the oranges and Slick off the top and the bottom.
  2. Using a sharp knife, slice the peel away from the orange in long, flat strips. Slice the peel into thin ¼th inch strips and set aside.
  3. Take a saucepan; add some water and the peel. Boil the water for 10 minutes in low heat. Remove the peels, rinse in cold water and dry. Blanch them few times if you can to remove the bitterness. I did this step thrice.
  4. Now take another pan, add the sugar and water, simmer it in a medium heat. Add sliced peels and cook for 45 minutes. You can turn it off when the liquid turns syrupy. And also peels should become soft and translucent. Remove the peels; place them in a wire rack to cook and dry off a bit.
  5. Chop the chocolate little and melt it in a double broiler, stir them frequently. Procedure for double broiler is by boiling water in a pan and Keeping another pot on top of it with chocolate. The chocolate will melt from this heat. I used ½ tsp oil togive that silky texture.
  6. Place a parchment paper in a clean place. U can cover the whole slice or cover only half. When they are dipped, place them immediately on the paper.
  7. They have to be set in refrigerator for 30minutes.
  8. Pull them put when you want to eat them.
Notes
1. I have used only three oranges. If you want prepare loads and store in inventory, you can do by increasing it proportionately. Let me know if you have some questions on that.
2. Do the boiling/blanching of orange in hot water at least twice to remove bitterness.
