Begin by slicing 3 small oranges into ¼-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline.

In a large skillet or saucepan, combine 3 cups of granulated sugar with 3 cups of water and heat until sugar dissolves.

Carefully add the orange slices to the syrup in a single layer, simmer for 45–60 minutes, turning occasionally.

Once translucent, remove the slices with tongs and place on a wire rack to cool for 24–48 hours.

Optionally roll in sugar, dip in chocolate, or sprinkle with salt for added flavor.
