Ingredients

  • 1 Orange or other citrus fruit
  • 1 c Granulated Sugar
  • 3 c Water

Instructions

  • Wash orange thoroughly, be sure to give a gentle scrub of the skin as you will be eating the whole thing.
  • Thinly slice orange, you can use a mandoline to get consistent slices. Put aside for after.
  • In a large pan (think a lot of surface area as you don't want the oranges touching) bring water and sugar to a boil.
  • Gently add in your orange slices and cook until they become translucent, approx. 20-30 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon remove the orange slices and transfer to a cooling rack with a baking sheet underneath to catch the drips.
  • Enjoy on your favorite cakes or on its own!
