CANDIED BLOOD ORANGE SLICES

Provided by Nancy Anne Harbord

Number Of Ingredients 2

2-3 blood oranges
300 g sugar

Steps:

  • Slice the blood oranges in 3-4mm slices (any thinner and they will break apart as they simmer).
  • Add the sugar and 500g water to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil over high heat. Boil until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and slide in the blood orange slices - keep the syrup on a very gentle simmer, otherwise the bubbles can break up the slices.
  • Simmer for 30-45 minutes, until the slices look translucent. Carefully remove with a slotted spoon, drain and transfer to a piece of baking paper. Leave to cool and set for a few hours, then transfer to a cooling rack and dry out for 24 hours.
  • Do not throw away the leftover syrup! It tastes absolutely amazing and can be used to make this delightful Blood orange fizz cocktail or some more wholesome Blood orangeade. Strain into a heatproof container and store in the fridge.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy blood oranges: The quality of your oranges will directly impact the flavor of your candied slices, so make sure to select the best fruit you can find.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you create clean, even slices without tearing the fruit.
  • Slice the oranges thinly: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the sugar syrup more easily.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the oranges in the sugar syrup, make sure to leave enough space between the slices so that they can cook evenly.
  • Be patient: Candied oranges take time to make, but the results are worth the wait. Be patient and follow the recipe carefully for the best results.
