Candied Oranges
Makes 15-20 candied slices
Adapted from Baked By An Introvert
2 oranges, thinly and evenly sliced (using a mandolin works great for this)
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
Prepare a large bowl with ice water. Set aside.
Bring a large saucepan filled halfway with water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the orange slices and boil for 2 minutes. Quickly transfer the orange slices from the saucepan to the bowl with the ice water. Discard the water in the saucepan.
Reduce the stove to medium heat. Add 2 cups of water and the sugar to the saucepan and bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the sugar.
Reduce the stove to medium-low heat. Add the orange slices and let them simmer until the rinds start turning translucent, about 45-60 minutes. Gently swirl the oranges every 10-15 minutes, making sure they are evenly coated with the sugar syrup.
Transfer the slices to a cooling rack. Let them sit until they are dry, no more than 24 hours.
Enjoy!
