Candied Orange Peels
And homemade orange syrup!
You can make the candied peels yourself using this recipe, which is the one I loosely followed.
For the syrup: I took what was left over from making the peels, and boiled it down until most of the water had evaporated. I added an extra splash of vanilla extract and allowed the syrup to cool before I bottled it. It set up really well overnight and was very "syrupy" the next day :)
Okay well what can you do with the syrup?
It's fantastic over ice cream, in teas or coffee, in simmer pots, in potions, in sweetener jars, to anoint candles, as an offering, etc.
Orange has correspondences of abundance, happiness, divination, strength, courage, health, creativity, success, attraction, and prosperity
And vanilla has correspondences of love, calmness, money/wealth, good fortune, emotional balance, improving one's mood, peace, comfort, and restoring lost energy
Of course, you can skip the vanilla extract all together if you want. And you can even substitute the oranges for lemons or grapefruits
I highly recommend labeling your bottle or jar with what's in the syrup and also the date you made it. This way you can keep track of it better, especially if you have a lot of homemade things in bottles & jars in your refrigerator
Have fun with it, be creative, and stay witchy! :D

here's what we're doing, okay?
french vanilla frozen yogurt. or ice cream. it just has to be french.
zest an orange over top.
halve the orange.
take 2 of the slices and squeeze them overtop.
plop the rest in the bowl.
sprinkle with a pinch or 2 of kosher salt.
if you're not in an orange mood:
french vanilla froyo. the french is very important today.
cup of strawberries. fresh or frozen, but if frozen, microwave them until they're soft and goopy, and dump them, syrup and all, over top.
trust me here:
drizzle balsamic vinegar over top. especially if you have fig or hibiscus vinegar.
