• Celebrated Annually on May 4th is National Candied Orange Peel Day …

Above: a version of candied orange peels I made once upon a time — as you can see mine are more like candied citrus rings of mostly peel with some fruit….

Although candied citrus peels are mostly used by bakers, no surprise I made them to adorn my custom cocktails — like the one i featured here for a special family friend’s celebratory occasion…✨CHEERS!✨
