[Sca-cooks] candied orange peel

[Tara Sersen Boroson]

How long can I store candied orange peels?  I don't figure they'll go 
bad quickly, but will the texture change if I store them too long?  I'm 
wondering if they are something I can do this far ahead for Christmas.  
I've always served or eaten them fresh before - they're usually too good 
to leave alone ;)

<musing>I tend to buy organic oranges for anything involving the peel.  
Between the pesticides on the surface and the wax (which I hate skimming 
off the top of my truffle ganache as it cools,) I've always been more 
comfortable that way.  I hope I can find organic blood oranges.  I've 
seen them in the past, but sporadically.</musing>
