Candied Orange Slices
Report
Candied orange slices are easy to make at home. Use them as sweet decorations for desserts or a lovely, chewy citrus treat just on their own!

Ingredients
- 2 medium oranges thinly sliced
- 400 g granulated sugar
- 750 ml water divided
- caster sugar optional decoration
Instructions
- Place the orange slices into a large, wide saucepan then cover with 250 ml (1 cup) of water and bring to a boil.
- Simmer for 2 mins then drain slices, discard the water and wipe out the pan.
- Add the remaining 500ml (2 cups) water to the same pan along with the granulated sugar and stir gently with a fork to dissolve.
- Add orange slices and bring to a simmer.
- Simmer for 40 - 60 minutes until the pith (the white part between the outer skin and the inner flesh) is translucent - this will depend on the thickness of the slices.
- Place a wire rack over a parchment or wax paper-lined baking tray.
- Carefully remove slices from the syrup with tongs or a slotted spoon and place on the wire rack in a single layer to cool and set for up to 24 hours.
- Sprinkle with caster sugar if using.
Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- Make sure to wash the oranges thoroughly.
- The best way to get nice even orange slices is with a very sharp knife - I found that a mandolin tore the flesh of the oranges.
- Remove any seeds from the slices before starting, these will be bitter.
- The slices will become firmer as they set.
