WOW, thank you so much!!

This is about the 4th video I've watched on making candied orange/lemon slices and previous videos have all stated to allow the fruit to cook in the sugar water on low heat heat for anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes. I was blown away when I saw your 1 to 2 minutes.

I have seen that, too!! I want to do a comparison between various cook times to see if there's a huge difference. I just can't imagine standing by the stove monitoring them for an hour when I could simply... not lol 😂

I really enjoyed the simplicity of your recipe versus the 4 others I’ve watched about making these. All of the others also cut the oranges 🍊 into thin slices and yours is the first I’ve seen that uses large slices. Very cool idea. Thanks, and I’ve subscribed! 😊

This is the only candied orange recipe that worked for me. I left mine in the boiling syrup longer till they were translucent like you said and turned out great- not too bitter!I plan to dip mine in dark chocolate! Thanks for the helpful tips

I have only made these with granulated sugar. Brown sugar may work, but it will have a different flavor and may make the oranges look brown.

Mine still ended up really bitter what am i doing wrong? Should i blanch more then once?

@FloralApronBlog

6 ай бұрын

Huh, they definitely shouldn't be bitter after the blanch, the soak in the syrup, and the final dip in sugar once they have dried! Perhaps you cut them too thick? The orange slices need to be really thin to get rid of the bit of bitterness in the blanch then cook in the syrup for long enough to absorb the sugar and turn the rind translucent (which will cut down on the bitterness some). If your slices are thicker than what I have in the video, it's going to take longer (an extra couple of minutes) in both of the steps to compensate, since the water and heat have to penetrate more layers. If your slices are thin, you could also just be more sensitive to the bitterness-there are some people who actually prefer the bitterness and cook the oranges directly in the sugar syrup. Perhaps you're the opposite of them lol!

Please help me understand. Why the ice bath when the slices are going to be put from bath into boiling simple syrup?

@FloralApronBlog

6 ай бұрын

Ice baths are common practice when blanching because it quickly stops the cooking process by dissipating the heat into the water. If you were to place all the slices in a big pile on a plate after the first bath, the center of the pile would be really hot for a long time and cook those slices further while waiting for the sugar syrup to boil, which we don't want. The ice is optional, but it should be a bowl of cold water to start. I have more details on that in the recipe on my website :)

If I may make a suggestion, can you combine ginger into this?

I haven't tried candying ginger before, so I'm not sure if the cook time would be the same. You're welcome to experiment or find another recipe that uses ginger for best results :)

I've stored them in the fridge in an airtight container for a month with no change in quality! At room temperature, the sugar on the outside gets a little melty if stored for longer than two weeks :)

Like parchment between layers or? :)

@FloralApronBlog

Air-tight container for sure, but I haven't found layering them between parchment paper to be necessary. If the slices are totally dry and coated in sugar, you don't have to worry about them sticking to each other much at all! I always have storage tips & an estimate on how long each recipe will keep in the "Notes" portion of the recipe cards on my website. Here's this one for ya! :) floralapron.com/candied-orange-slices/

Did I see you throw your orange sugar syrup? Use left over syrup for hot or cold tea and coffee!
