Does anyone have an old recipe from possibly the early sixties, from either Woman's Day or Family Circle, called Winter Sunshine Bread or Orange Sunshine Bread? It involves using the orange peel and boiling and rinsing it several times before boiling it with sugar until it thickens then using it in the recipe.
You can do a recipe search for candied orange peel (also works great with grapefruit peel) and then find a separate orange flavored bread recipe if this query is unfruitful.
But, don't do the candying process on a humid day 'cause the peel will take forever to dry and even then, may not dry adequately.
I hope this is what you're looking for. Enjoy!

2 navel oranges
3/4 cup sugar
For bread:
2/3 cup sugar

Thank you SO very much. This sounds exactly like the recipe my Mom had! Won't she be surprised, as will all my family, when I serve this on Thanksgiving morning breakfast as was our family tradition!
Including whole wheat flour and oatmeal in the popular cranberry orange quick bread gives you a delicious and more healthy alternative. This page contains a cranberry bread with orange and oats recipe.
