Bitter Orange Peels in Syrup
Strips of Seville orange peel are simmered in a golden syrup till they are soft but firm. In Lebanon, these sweet orange curls are a classic preserve in every pantry and have a special place in the heart of Lebanese gastronomy; highly aromatic with a sweet, tangy, yet slightly bitter taste.
The bitter orange tree is an ornamental fragrant tree that grows in many regions in Lebanon. But, in Magdouche, a village in south Lebanon, you find the greatest concentration of bitter orange trees which fill the air with a magnificent scent at the beginning of spring. This bitter orange peel is devotedly prepared by a rural cooperative in the West Bekaa.
