Summer Candied Oranges

Directions

1. Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside.
2. Cut oranges in to slice using a mandolin or a knife.
3. Add 4 cups of the water to a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
4. Add the orange slices and turn the heat down to simmer.
5. Simmer for 5 minutes. This removes some of the bitterness from the peel.
6. Then quickly transfer the orange slices to the bowl of ice water to stop them from cooking.
7. Add the sugar to the same saucepan and water, you cooked the oranges in. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.
8. Turn the heat down to medium and add the orange slices back.
9. Simmer for 45-60 minutes. Stir every so often.
10. Transfer the slices to a parchment-lined pan or cooling rack. Let them sit for up to 24 hours or until dry.
11. Add sugar to a plate or pan and dip the candied orange slices in the sugar.
