Description
Discover the secrets to perfectly candied orange slices, a delightful and easy-to-make treat that’s perfect for snacking or adding a tangy, citrusy touch to your favorite desserts.
Ingredients
– 3 oranges, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup water
Instructions
1. Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a large saucepan, stirring until the sugar has fully dissolved.
2. Add the orange slices and simmer for 15-20 minutes, flipping the slices occasionally, until the rinds are translucent and the slices are tender.
3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the candied orange slices to a parchment-lined baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.
4. Allow the slices to cool completely, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
The candied orange slices can be used as a garnish for cakes, pies, and other desserts, or enjoyed on their own as a sweet and tangy snack. For a variation, try dipping the slices in melted chocolate after they’ve cooled.
