Candied Orange Peel
3 oranges peels of, cut into thin strips
water
1/2 cup sugar

Orange Bread
2 cups flour, sifted
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 cup candied orange peel

directions

For Candied Peel: Peel oranges with a potato peeler to keep free of the bitter white pith. Cut peels into matchstick like pieces. Cover the peel with water in a pan and boil for 10-15 minutes.

Drain water from peel, add sugar and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

For Bread: Sift all dry ingredients together. Add 1 cup candied orange peel. Add milk and egg and stir well.

Place in a greased 4 1/2" x 8 1/2" loaf pan. Sprinkle lightly with sugar. Let stand for 10 to 20 minutes. Then, bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour.

The candied orange peel is bitter, no matter how much sugar is in it. But I am giving it another go by soaking the orange peel in the sugar that has melted down, over night. I'll let everyone know how it is.

  Sounds like you might have had some of the pith (white part of the peel) in there if it was bitter.
