Wash your oranges well.  Remove the peel of the orange with a knife or your hands.  Cut the peel into 1/4 inch strips.

Place the peel into a large pot of water.  Bring to a boil and then strain.  Repeat the process two more times to help remove some bitterness from the peel.

Place 2 cups water and 1 cup of sugar in the pot and bring over medium high heat.  Once sugar is dissolved add orange peel.  Allow to simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour.  Drain any remaining syrup from the pot and put it back on the heat over high to reduce a bit before placing in a glass jar to use as a simple syrup in beverages, keep refrigerated.

Spread the peels on a drying rack or paper towels.  Allow to dry overnight and then sprinkle some granulated sugar on top and store in an airtight container.
