  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Method

Preparation
  1. Slice the oranges into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

  4. Remove the slices from the syrup and place them on a wire rack to cool.
  5. Optional: Once cool, you can sprinkle the slices with a little additional sugar if desired for extra sweetness.
  6. Let them dry for a few hours before serving or storing.

Notes

Use thin, even slices to cook evenly. Keep the syrup at a low simmer to avoid breaking the slices. Let air circulate while drying on the wire rack. If syrup gets too thick, add a little water and warm gently. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
