Description
Candied orange slices are a delightful treat that blend sweetness with a hint of citrus tang, perfect for snacking or decorating baked goods.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium fresh oranges
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash the oranges thoroughly, slice off both ends, and cut into thin rounds (about 1/4 inch thick).
- In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves, then bring to a gentle boil.

- Serve on a platter or store in an airtight container.
Notes
For best results, slice oranges evenly and simmer on low heat to prevent burning. Consider adding cinnamon or ginger for added flavor.
