Equipment
- Knife
- Saucepan
- Rack
Ingredients
- 2 Oranges
- 2 cups Water
- 2 cups White granulated sugar
- Chocolate (optional)
- Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- First step is to clean your oranges. Try to source organic oranges if you can, since you will be eating the peel as well.
- Slice the oranges in thin slices of approximately 0.5cm (0.2 inches).
- Set the oranges aside.
- Mix the sugar with the water in the saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Delicately turn the slices every once and a while and leave the slices to simer for about 45 min to an hour.
- Then take the slices out off the saucepan and lay them on a rack to cool down and solidfy over night.
- Once your slices have nicely cooled down prepare your chocolate mix.
- Cut the chocolate in smaller chunks and then melt the chocolate (bain marie is my preffered method but you can melt the chocolate however you prefer).
- Dip half of the candied orange in chocolate to coat it.
- Sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
