Homemade candied orange slices
orange slices (candied peel)
These orange slices are not only delicious, but also beautiful. Since the orange is pre-boiled many times, all the bitter substances from the peels go into the drained water. Therefore, candied fruits have an orange aroma, but no specific bitterness. Orange slices can be eaten plain, added to baked goods, and used to decorate cakes.
INGREDIENTS 1 small orange, 1/4 cup sugar (50g)
It is advisable to take small oranges, with smooth (not cellulite) peel. Cut the oranges into circles 0.5~0.7 cm thick. If you cut it thicker, the slices will not dry well; if you cut them thinner, the middle will tear.
Place the slices in a saucepan, pour in water so that the oranges are completely covered with water.
Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Drain the water.
Fill with fresh water. Repeat boiling the oranges in fresh water three times. After the third cooking, drain the water and place the orange slices in a frying pan with a wide bottom. Pour about a quarter glass of water and add sugar at the rate of 50 grams per orange. If desired, you can add the juice of one lemon to add a sour taste.
Place the frying pan on low heat. Stir the oranges periodically so that the top slices swap places with the bottom ones. Mix very carefully, trying not to damage the middle. When all the water has boiled away and the sound changes from gurgling to sizzling, start stirring the slices constantly so that as much moisture as possible evaporates from them. Under no circumstances should the sugar begin to melt, otherwise the slices will be hard. The constant stirring stage takes 2~3 minutes.
Prepare dishes in advance on which the slices will be poured for further drying. This can be a baking tray lined with baking paper or foil. Both paper and foil should be lightly coated with refined vegetable oil. But it is best to use a special silicone baking mat; it does not require greasing.
Place the orange slices on the prepared surface and arrange them in a single layer. You can dry candied fruits in three ways: 1. An hour and a half in the oven at t=70~80°C with the door ajar and in ventilation mode; 2. In winter - on a hot battery; 3. Best of all - just at room temperature, in the summer - on a sunny windowsill. In this case, the candied fruits are dried gradually. They are covered with a sugar crust, remaining soft inside. You can store candied fruits either in a closed container, but in this case they will quickly become sticky, or in an open container, in which case they will become drier every day.
