ingredients
- 1 pound oranges
- 500 grams granulated sugar
- 500 ml water
Method
Step 1
Wash oranges with water. Scrub the oranges with salt and baking soda to remove chemical residues, then wash with water again. Use a bamboo skewer to poke small holes in the surface of the oranges.
Step 2
Pre-boil the oranges in water to reduce bitterness: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the oranges and boil for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, place the oranges in the bowl of ice water until cooled. Drain. (Can repeat this step 1-2 more time to reduce more bitterness).
Step 3
In another saucepan, combine 500 gr (2 cups) of sugar and 500 gr (2 cups) of water. Stir until combined, and heat until it boils (stir occasionally).
Step 4
Cut the oranges into slices (about 1/8-1/4 inches).
Step 5
When the sugar mixture boil, turn heat to medium-low. Place the orange slices in the sugar mixture and simmer for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it cool for an hour.
Step 6
After an hour, turn the heat to medium-low again and continue simmering the orange slices for 45-60 minutes until they turn to be transparent (turning every 15 minutes). Take the saucepan off the heat.
Step 7
Use a fork to remove the slices one at a time and set them onto a wire rack. Let them air-dried at a cool and dry place for 1-2 days, or dry them in the oven at 220 F in 20-30 mins.
