Ingredients
  

For the Candied Orange Slices
  • 2 large oranges Look for firm, vibrant oranges with no blemishes for the best flavor.
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional for added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the oranges thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds, removing any seeds.
  2. In a saucepan, combine water and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Add the orange slices to the pan and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Let the orange slices simmer for about 1 hour until they become translucent and tender.
  5. Carefully remove the slices from the syrup and place them on a wire rack to cool.
  6. If desired, dip the cooled slices in granulated sugar to add a sparkling finish.
  7. Allow the slices to dry completely before using or storing them.
