Love mountains, sound of bells ringing and fruit skins (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

orange peel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fruit skins' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'love mountains sound of bells ringing' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'mountains' becomes 'range' (range of mountains).
'sound of bells ringing' becomes 'peel' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'o'+'range'+'peel'='ORANGE-PEEL'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orange peel that I've seen before include "Bit of fruit" , "Pithy stuff" , "Rind often candied" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
