Learn how to make sweet tangy Candied Orange Slices that brighten desserts and snacks with rich natural flavor and easy steps

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large oranges (preferably organic with thin skins)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • Optional: extra granulated sugar for coating
  • Optional: pinch of salt

    • Instructions

  • Slice your oranges thinly. Aim for 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick slices using a sharp knife or mandoline.
  • Boil the orange slices briefly in water for about 1 minute. Drain and repeat once more to reduce bitterness.
  • Make the sugar syrup by combining 2 cups sugar, 2 cups water, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  • Add the orange slices in a single layer to the syrup. Simmer gently for 45-60 minutes until slices become translucent and syrup thickens slightly.
  • Remove orange slices using a slotted spoon and transfer to a wire rack over parchment paper. Let dry at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Optional: Toss dried slices lightly in extra granulated sugar and let dry further for a crunchy coating.
