It's a new recipe. I am not sure it's coming out well - I was supposed to let them "dry" overnight, and then dip in more sugar. Then the chocolate. But in tasting the peel this morning I'm still getting a bitter aftertaste. Not sure if it's the particular oranges or if the recipe needs to be modified. The oranges here are very small, and the recipe said to leave 1/4th of the peel after getting as much of the pith off as possible, and repeatedly boiling and draining them. There's maybe 1/8th of an inch of these peels, and they were thoroughly boiled three times, so.... it might work with the chocolate to counter that. Or it might not. I also have a half a jar of the sugar syrup they were cooked in. The recipe says it can be used on pancakes, etc., but having tasted it I don't think so. Perhaps as a sugar substitute in baked goods, though, to keep from having to throw it away and waste it.
Anyway, I forgot to add to the original post that a couple of months ago I would not have had the energy to do this. I was substantially tired... even peeling a bowl of oranges would have been too much. So, I'm that much better.
