About Ecorce d'orange confite

Écorce d’orange confite is orange peel preserved by cooking or soaking it in sugar syrup. It is used in baking, confectionery and desserts as a sweet, citrus-flavoured ingredient. It refers to candied peel rather than fresh orange zest or the whole fruit, and recipes differ in whether the peel is left in strips, diced or further coated.

The peel is usually translucent or glossy, with a chewy, slightly firm texture and a sweet flavour balanced by orange aroma and some bitterness from the rind. It may be sold in strips or small cubes, plain or coated with additional sugar or chocolate. The degree of syruping and drying affects its softness and stickiness.
