Ingredients
– 2 large 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 medium saucepan, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved.
2. Add the orange slices to the simmering sugar syrup and cook for 30-40 minutes, flipping the slices occasionally, until they are translucent and the syrup has thickened.
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 gently peel them off the parchment paper.
Notes
For a firmer, more crystallized texture, you can let the candied orange slices dry on the baking sheet for an additional 2-3 hours. Store the candied slices in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
