To make the Candied Orange Peel.
Add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water and boil together. Peel a large orange and slice it thinly, then add the orange to the syrup. Turn the heat down and simmer the mixture until the oranges become translucent, I then added some of the juice from the orange as I didn't want to waste that lol. This may take anywhere up to 30+ minutes. You do have to stir it now and again!
Don't waste the syrup either, after you've removed the peel, pour the syrup onto a nonstick parchment and spread out, then leave to harden and then break it apart. It will look like this as it dries, now it can be used for sprinkling on as toppings! Remember that it will taste of oranges.
After removing the orange segments, drop them in a bowl of sugar, making sure that they are all completely covered in sugar and then leave on a dry surface for when you need them.
These will keep in the fridge for several days! Now to the Chocolate Mousse.
