Candied Orange Peel Day is observed annually on May 4th. Candied Orange Peels are a boiled, sliced and sugared treat. They are very popular with chefs and bakers as well as used often during the holidays in cookies, fruitcakes and other snacks. They can also be eaten by themselves.
They have a strong own taste and can therefore easily be used to flavor other foods. Graters of candied orange peel can sweeten cakes and cookies without knowing that they are in it. Apart from that they are also a neat and well smelling decoration for the living room.
On this day, bake some cookies or other recipes that use candied orange peels. Then, eat and enjoy.
