why not be scientific about this...
Take one chunk of Candied peel, cut a chunk of regular peel the same size
and weigh the difference? then by dividing the one into the other you can
get the ratio. then weigh the peel of an orange and do the math.

But I think you should think be careful...
Modern oranges just may be larger than medieval ones...
I don't know. anyone?
