Candied Orange Slices Recipe

Frequently Asked Questions

  What is the difference between candied orange slices and candied orange peel?

  There are many ways to peel – or slice – an orange, and the biggest difference between candied orange slices and candied orange peels is this stage of preparation. With orange slices, you will be candying the fruit’s flesh as well as its pith and peel. (The final product, too, will be larger.) Candied orange peel, which requires you to peel an orange rather than slice it, can be more easily cut to size. Small enough slivers can serve as garnishes on cannoli or even as flavoring inside an apple pie.

  What should I do with the leftover orange syrup?

  The leftover syrup from this candied orange slices recipe is functionally an infused simple syrup, one of the most versatile ingredients you can keep in your kitchen (or bar cart). Use this every way you’d use simple syrup with a bonus orange flavor: Stir into hot or cold coffee, mix into a Mai Tai, drizzle over baklava, or sweeten a salad dressing.
