Add the peel, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the peels are tender, about ⏱️ 45 minutes.

Drain and toss the peels in the sugar. Note: You want to drain the orange peels well. If you just throw them straight from the syrup into the sugar, the sugar will clump up. (Tip: Save the syrup and use it in ice tea.)

Place the peels on a cooling rack and let them sit until the coating is dry, anywhere from ⏱️ 24-48 hours.
