Instructions
Instructions:
Start by washing and drying your oranges. Using a sharp knife, slice the oranges into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved.
Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and add in the vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
Place the orange slices into the sugar mixture, making sure they are completely covered. Allow the oranges to soak in the sugar mixture for at least an hour, or until the sugar has become thick and syrupy.
After the orange slices have soaked, remove them from the sugar mixture and place them on a wire rack to cool and dry.
Once the orange slices have cooled, you can enjoy them as is or sprinkle some additional sugar on top for extra sweetness.
That's it! These candied orange slices make the perfect healthy treat. They're sweet, juicy, and packed with vitamin C. Plus, they're super easy to make, so you can enjoy a delicious snack in no time at all.
