Candied Blood Oranges
2014-07-09 02:43:57
Serves 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 blood oranges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a small saucepan, bring sugar and 1 cup water to a boil. Stir until sugar dissolves.
- Using an electric slicer or serrated knife, slice Blood oranges into ¼-inch-thick rounds. Place slices on a rimmed baking sheet and cover with simple syrup.
- Bake until slices have softened and started to absorb the syrup, about 20 minutes. The edges of the peel will have begun to curl. Cool slightly, then remove oranges from syrup, place on rack, and
- let dry at room temperature overnight.
- Remaining syrup may be reduced until slightly thickened and used as a garnish, if desired. Refrigerate in a sealed container up to 3 days.
