Candied oranges lend an absolutely delicious dimension to anything you add them to. Orange and sugar mix in a magical alchemy to create tart, sweet, chewy, and tender caramelized orange treats. They are fantastic as snacks, cake toppings, drink garnishes, or desserts!
Slice the oranges, remove seeds, if any, and carefully add to the boiling water.
Boil for 1 minute and place them in the bowl of iced water.
Sugar Syrup
Combine sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the orange slices and cook on low heat for 35-40 minutes, until the rinds are slightly translucent and the syrup is thick and sticky. Flip the slices every 10-15 minutes to ensure they are properly coated in the syrup.
Transfer the slices onto a cooling rack and let them dry for 24 hours.
You can also toss them in caster sugar if you wish.Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator, for 2-3 weeks. Enjoy!
