1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Place the orange zest and water in saucepan and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes or until peel is tender. Pour off all but ¼ cup of water and add the honey to the orange liquid and peel. Boil the mixture over low heat for about 15 minutes. Cool slightly. The syrup should thicken.

4. Bake for 45 minutes or until lightly browned and firm at the center.
