Servings: 40 slices Calories: 62kcal Prep 10 minutes Cooking 1 hour 5 minutes Drying 1 day Total Time 1 day 1 hour 15 minutes
Pin Recipe Share on Facebook Ingredients US CustomaryMetric1x2x3x▢ 4 cups water▢ 4 small oranges (tangelos and cuties can also be used)▢ 3 cups granulated sugar (plus more for the optional coating)▢ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (up to 1 teaspoon for extra vanilla flavor)▢ 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, for melting and dipping)
InstructionsTrim the first end off of your oranges then slice them evenly.4 small orangesAdd 4 cups of water, 3 cups of sugar, and the vanilla extract to a saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar has fully dissolved. 4 cups water, 3 cups granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extractReduce the heat to medium-low and add the sliced oranges. Simmer for 45-60 minutes until the orange peel (or the rind) has become slightly translucent. Give them a gentle stir every 10-15 minutes or so to make sure all sides are covered in sugar water.Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet to catch any drips and transfer your oranges over to the rack to dry. This will take about 24 hours.Dip your candied orange slices in some granulated sugar, if desired, or melt chocolate chips to dip your orange slices into halfway. 1 cup chocolate chips Equipment You May NeedMixing BowlSauce PanWire Cooling Rack Notes Take some extra time to carefully clean your oranges using a vegetable brush before slicing and making them into these delicious candy slices. You want to make sure that your fruit is as free of residue as possible. Instead of granulated sugar, dip your dried candied orange slices in melted chocolate for an extra special treat! This time I made ⅔ of the batch into sugar-coated candied oranges and then the remaining ⅓ of the batch into chocolate-dipped candied oranges. Candied orange slices make a wonderful cocktail garnish (especially if the drink features orange liqueur). They also make a chic and beautiful topper or decoration on cupcakes, cakes, and frosted cookies as well as a special addition to homemade trail mix! The remaining liquid is a sweet and fruity orange syrup that can be reserved to use in desserts or cocktails! To store: Keep candied orange slices refrigerated in an airtight container and enjoy within 1 month.

You want to make sure that your fruit is as free of residue as possible. Instead of granulated sugar, dip your dried candied orange slices in melted chocolate for an extra special treat! This time I made ⅔ of the batch into sugar-coated candied oranges and then the remaining ⅓ of the batch into chocolate-dipped candied oranges. Candied orange slices make a wonderful cocktail garnish (especially if the drink features orange liqueur). They also make a chic and beautiful topper or decoration on cupcakes, cakes, and frosted cookies as well as a special addition to homemade trail mix! The remaining liquid is a sweet and fruity orange syrup that can be reserved to use in desserts or cocktails! To store: Keep candied orange slices refrigerated in an airtight container and enjoy within 1 month.
