Sun Dried Orange Peel is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. It adds a tangy and slightly bitter flavor to stews, tagines, and daubes, and can also be used to enhance the flavor of baked goods like cakes, cookies, and bread. Drying the orange peel intensifies its flavor and gives it a longer shelf life. When using dried orange peel in recipes, be sure to soak it in warm water for a few minutes to rehydrate it before use.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to the lowest temperature setting.
2.	Cut the orange peel into thin strips using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler.
3.	Arrange the peel in a single layer on a piece of greaseproof paper, leaving space between each strip.
4.	Place the paper on a baking sheet and place it in the oven.
5.	After 2 hours, flip the peels over and return to the oven for an additional hour or until the orange peels are dry and crisp.
6.	Once dried, store the strips in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
