Rinse rind thoroughly with cold water and drain. When cool enough to handle, give them a squeeze to press out excess water.

Add orange juice and sugar to the saucepan and return to high heat. When the mixture comes to a boil, stir in the rind.

Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins darkening to a golden colour, as if it's starting to turn into caramel. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then ladle into a glass jar.
