Candied Orange Peel Day

On May 4th, we celebrate with zeal,
A holiday that’s sweet as can be,
Candied Orange Peel Day, oh what a steal,
For all the citrus lovers, it’s pure glee.

Candied orange peel, it’s a treat,
Tangy and sweet, with a citrusy beat,
Vitamin C packed, oh so neat,
A candy like no other, that’s hard to beat.

It’s made by boiling the peel,
In a sugar syrup, oh what a feel,
Then coated in sugar, to seal the deal,
A delightful candy, that’s for real.

It’s not like other candies, you see,
No artificial flavors, just pure orange glee,
With a chewy texture, and a taste so tangy,
It’s perfect in cakes, and cocktails so fancy.

The origin of this holiday is a mystery,
But who needs a reason for this kind of revelry?
Let’s make up a story, oh so wild and free,
That’s what makes this holiday so cheery.

So gather your loved ones, or meet someone new,
Make candied orange peel, it’s easy to do,
Add it to desserts, or cocktails too,
Make this day special, just for you.

And if someone asks, why you celebrate this day,
Just say Wild Calendar gave you permission to play,
Wish them a happy Candied Orange Peel Day,
And enjoy this sweet treat, in your own special way.
