Candied orange peel

Candied orange peel

Overview

jThis shredded orange peel is very suitable for making dessert fillings. Generally, adding some green and red shreds to the fillings of desserts will enhance the flavor. Because making green and red silk is too troublesome and requires coloring, and I am worried that the pigment is not safe, I make some candied orange peel or grapefruit peel myself. Whether it is used as a filling for glutinous rice balls or moon cakes, I chop it up and add a little bit. It tastes particularly good.
