Candied Orange is a popular sweet gifted around Christmas time. The orange and chocolate is a classic combination and you can’t go wrong with it. It is also a guilt-free sweet because of the goodness of the orange.

Ingredients

Method

1. Cut the orange in about 3/4 cm thick slices. Remove the end slices.



2. Boil about 4 cups of water. Once it starts to boil, turn off the heat and put orange slices in water for about a minute. After a minute remove the slices and drain the water.



3. Repeat the previous step two more times to remove the bitterness of the orange peel.
4. In a frying pan, pour the sugar and one and a half cup of water. Stir till sugar melts. Once the sugar melts, add the orange slices and turn the heat to low. Let it simmer. After a few minutes gently turn over the slices.







5. Simmer the slices till they start to become translucent (about 60 minutes). Turn off the heat. Remove the slices gently and leave them on a wire rack to dry.







6. They will be dry in a few hours. They may be a little sticky and that’s fine.
7. Melt the chocolate in a microwave for 30 seconds. Mix it and then again heat it for 30 seconds. Repeat this process till the chocolate melts and becomes smooth.





8. There are two ways of coating the orange slices. You can just roll them in sugar on both sides or you can dip them in chocolate.







9. Once the chocolate is dry, you can store these in refrigerator for a couple of weeks. Candied Orange slices are ready.
