Preparation

Cut peel on each orange into 4 vertical
segments. Remove each segment (including
white pith) in 1 piece. Cut into 1/4-inch-wide
strips. Cook in large pot of boiling water 15
minutes; drain, rinse, and drain again.

Bring 3 cups sugar and 3 cups water
to boil in medium saucepan over medium
heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add peel.
Return to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until
peel is very soft, about 45 minutes. Drain.

Toss peel and 1 cup sugar on rimmed
baking sheet, separating strips. Lift peel
from sugar; transfer to sheet of foil. Let
stand until coating is dry, 1 to 2 days. DO AHEAD: Wrap and freeze up to 2 months.
