Candied Orange Peel Day

This food holiday on May the Fourth, a la Star Wars Day, celebrates a citrusy sweet treat made from orange peels cooked and coated in sugar or syrup. Candied orange peel is used in baking, confections, and as a snack. Make it at home with fresh oranges, sugar, and water. Simply boil the orange peel in sugar syrup until it's candied and then let it cool.
