Orange Peel Spoon Sweet

[mj_toronto8]

I have an aunt who used to make spoon sweet with orange peel.

She used to take orange peels and string them together with some fine kitchen-grade thread. Then, she'd put them in a pan with a solution of mostly honey and water, but also of a little sugar.

I totally lost her recipe, and I also forget if the step with threading the peels together is absolutely necessary or if it is just her aesthetic. Any advice?

I have never heard of stringing the orange peel to make it. I am so intrigued. If you do find the recipe please share with us.
You can make orange spoon sweet with out needing to string the peel. My grandmother use to take the peel and julienne it. What I usually do is peel the orange in one long peel and cut it in four. I then roll it like rose and place a toothpick to keep its shape.
