Ingredients

Scale

2 large fresh oranges (about 400g)
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
1 cup water (240ml)

Instructions

Wash the oranges thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds (about 1/4 inch thick).
Coat the orange slices generously with granulated sugar in a mixing bowl.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water and sugar, stirring until dissolved. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the sugar-coated orange slices to the syrup, simmering for about 15 minutes until they soften but retain their shape.
Remove the slices from syrup and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let cool before drying in an oven at its lowest setting (170°F/75°C) for about two hours.
Once dried, store in an airtight container or serve immediately.
