- 2. In 2-qt saucepan, combine orange strips, sugar, vanilla beans and 4 c. water. Place over high heat to bring to boil, and then reduce heat to low. Simmer till peel is tender to the bite and syrup has thickened, 35 to 45 min.
- 3. Allow peel and syrup to cold to room temperature, and then transfer to covered container. Store refrigerated for as long as 3 weeks.
- Yield: About 1 1/2 c. peel, 2-1/2 c. syrup.
