First cut off both the sides of the orange to make it easy to peel.
Then with a serrated knife carefully cut the skin along the length without cutting the fruit.
Make 5 cuts for an orange.
Carefully remove the peel from the fruit. You will end up with 5 segments in each orange. Reserve the oranges for the paste.
In a pan add water and the peel and let it boil for 10 minutes.
Now drain water and reserve for paste.
Remove the peels and allow them to cool down.
Slice each segment into two for easy handling.
With a sharp knife, remove the white coloured pith from the peel.
In a pan add sugar and water and bring it to boil.
Add the peels and reduce flame to medium low.
Cover and cook the peels for 30-45 minutes or until the peels look shiny and glossy.
Remove the peels and place them on a wire rack.
Allow it to dry for 24 hours.
Take granulated sugar in a bowl, roll each peel in the sugar so that it coats the peel.
Dry it again over night to completely dry.
Store them in air tight box and use as needed.
