Recipe - Honeyed orange peels

Remember when I showed you this?

Coconut licor 43 pana cotta orange peels

This pana cotta was the first pana cotta I made and ofcourse, I had to add some twists to it. It turned out amazing and I'm very eager to share the recipe with you. However, first I want to show you how to make the decoration!

These are honeyed orange peels and they really add a festive touch to a very boring looking (but not tasting) dessert. This is how you make them:

Orange peels

Ingredients

A couple of oranges
Some honey

Directions

Cut off the orange peels, trying to take as little white with it as possible.
Cut off the whites that are still on the orange peels.
Cut the orange peels into little stripes (careful not to cut yourself!).
Blanch them in hot water for a few minutes, then drain them.
Add the peels to a small sauce pan and add water and honey in equal amounts as you have orange peels.
Put the pan on the fire and heat this up while stirring a bit now and then.
Let this bubble away on the stove for atleast 30 minutes and add water if needed.
Scoop out the orange peels and spread them out on a piece of baking sheet to dry for an hour.
