Turn peels from expensive organic oranges into a wide range of treats, from raisin substitutes to a gourmet candy. Boil the peels twice, once in plain water to extract the bitterness and then in sugar water to infuse them with sweetness. Save and reuse the sugar water used for the second boiling to make this a thrifty as well as easy and delicious dessert.

Prep time: 20 minutes. Total time: 1 hour, 20 minutes plus a day or two for drying. Makes 16 servings, 5 slices each.
