Our Sicilian candied orange peel is hand cubed and packed fresh in a 1 pound container. These tender orange peel cubes are perfect for Italian baking, holiday desserts, fruit cakes, biscotti, cannoli filling, panettone, cassata, cookies, and chocolate dipping.
Sicilian candied orange peel is made from orange rind that has been slowly preserved in sugar syrup until the peel becomes soft, fragrant, and sweet. The result is a bright citrus ingredient used in traditional Italian desserts and baking. It adds real orange flavor, chewy texture, and color without needing artificial orange extract.
This is not a tiny supermarket cup that has been sitting around for months. We pack this candied orange peel fresh in a full 1 pound container, making it a better choice for serious baking, holiday recipes, and anyone who uses candied fruit often. The cubes are easy to fold into dough, mix into filling, sprinkle over desserts, or dip in chocolate.
Do not throw away the small amount of syrup at the bottom of the container. Brush it over cookies, spoon it onto pound cake, stir a little into cannoli cream, or use it as a natural orange syrup for desserts.
