Candied Oranges
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 oranges
- 4 cups water
- 4 cups sugar
Instructions
- Whisk the water and sugar in a medium pot and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Whisk occasionally and make sure all sugar has dissolved.
- Slice oranges thinly, discarding the edges. Add the oranges to the pot and simmer for at least 1 hour, until the peels are translucent. Make sure the water doesn’t come to a full boil or the oranges will begin to disintegrate.
- Carefully remove the oranges with a slotted spoon and place on a wire cooling rack. Set the oranges aside to dry for at least 12 hours.
- You can eat the oranges just like this or dip both sides in sugar. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
