Greek orange sweet

One of our favourite Greek sweet, which can accompany your other sweets, ice creams or yogurt as topping, or you can enjoy it plain with your coffee!

Ingredient

• 600g orange peels
• 900g sugar
• 900ml of water
• 1 cinnamon stick
• juice of half a lemon

Execution

1. Choose oranges with thick peel.
2. Wash the oranges very well.
3. Rub a little on the grater and hold the zest (we can use it on another sweet).
4. Cut the peel vertically into 6 equal portions and peel the oranges carefully. Weigh the peels to be about 600-650 gr.
5. Wrap each peel in a roll and transfer them to skewers, taking care not to break.
6. Put water in a pan and boil the peels for 5 minutes, after the first boil.
7. When boiling, change the water 4 times to remove the peels.
8. In another saucepan, pour the sugar, water, cinnamon, and set on high heat.
9. Boil the syrup, and 5 minutes after the first boil, pour the peels in.
10. Boil for another 30 minutes. If you have a thermometer, the temperature should be 104 degrees. Once removed from the heat, add the lemon juice.
11. Put the sweet in sterile jars and close with a lid.
