[Sca-cooks] Drying Candied Orange Peels

[Terry Decker]

I don't know about the drying time, but I live in Namron and have kept 
candied orange peel in a baggie on the counter.  The mild, humid Spring 
weather we've been having may be the exception.  Usually, the heater or the 
air conditioner keeps the humidity down.  Since you're experimenting for an 
event, I'd suggest bagging up several small batches of what you are making, 
force the air out, and store them in different manners for a few weeks to a 
month or more to see what works best.
