This is Jon's Mom's Orange Bread recipe.
Peel 3 medium navel oranges and slice in thin strips.
Boil peels with 1 cup cold water and 1 tsp. Baking soda for 5 minutes.
Drain and wash well...this removes most of the “white” stuff.
Then boil peels in 2/3 c. water and 1 cup sugar until the “syrup” is thick,
and let cool. (I usually spread the peels on sugar coated wax paper to cool)
After the peels cool, chop into small pieces.
