Recipe Ingredients <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oranges<\/strong>: I say go for what\u2019s locally available to you. As long as they have a thin peel, any kind of orange will do here\u2014Mandarins, Malta, Kinnow, or even tangerines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make candied lemon or lime slices, simply substitute those fruits for the oranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ins:<\/strong> You can add cinnamon, vanilla extract, or even pepper for a kick of heat in the syrup. This is completely optional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar:<\/strong> Regular granulated sugar works like a charm. Use brown sugar for a deeper, more complex flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Make Candied Orange Slices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Scrub your oranges thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Slice the oranges. Make sure to remove any seeds, as they can make the candied fruit slices bitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sliced<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Blanch the slices by dunking them in boiling water for about 60 seconds to get rid of their bitterness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Shock the orange slices by dipping them into a waiting ice bath (a bowl of water and ice sitting right next to your stove).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Place<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Make a simple sugar syrup by combining a cup of water with a half cup of sugar in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Stir occasionally to make sure the sugar dissolves. Once the syrup is boiling, reduce the heat to low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cook<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> Add the orange slices to the syrup one by one so they don\u2019t stick together. Let them simmer in the syrup for about 35 to 40 minutes until they are translucent, and the syrup has thickened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cook<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 7:<\/strong> Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the orange slices from the syrup and spread them out on a wire rack or parchment paper to dry. This is the longest step of the recipe and typically takes a day or overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 8:<\/strong> As they cool, the syrup will harden and create a deliciously sticky coating on the dried candied orange slices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final step:<\/strong> And that's it! Serve the delicious, homemade candied orange slices.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
