Before me sits the most fantastic jar of candy, a nuclear bomb of goodness. Not only is it the best orange candy in the world, but its amazingly homemade.

Homemade candy this good has a catch though- it takes 2 – 3 weeks to make. So steel yourself and find that zen place of candy patience in your heart. It will be worth it, I promise.

candy orange slicesWhat makes these candied orange slices better than the easier candied orange peel? These candied orange slices retain their pulpy fruit and are steeped in a sugar solution without heat. This minimal use of heat offers up an orange candy that has a more juicy, lighter fruity flavor than candied orange peels have.

Candy Orange Slices

modified version of procedure for candying fruit by Jean-Pierre Wybauw in Fine Chocolates, p70. Wybauw’s method utilizes a sugar refractometer- the following method doesn’t.

Fruit Prep:

Blanching:

Candying:

Drying and dipping
The orange slices are removed from the sugar solution. Finishing can take multiple different routes:
arrange on a drying rack out at room temperature till less tacky, 1-2 days then

Storage of finished candies
In an air tight container is best to keep out humidity. I gifted these in glass canning jars or crunchy cellophane bags. The survivors of my nibbling suggest that these candies hold up well: at least a month, probably more.

Variations
The subject of your candying is the first variation that leaps to my mind. Keeping your choices in the citrus family is easy:

Finding other fruits and vegetables for this process would be a great experiment too. I don’t know what the parameters for likely subjects are. But here’s some ideas:

I’d love to hear what you try.

A long process- yes. But the bounty if offers will reward you and your friends over and over.

Cheers

OK, now you know I have to try this. For lemons (since that’s what I still have a ton of) would you recommend the chocolate or just a sugar coating?

thanks for the inspiration!

DOh- why didn’t I answer this here?
I think lemons would be great either:
-with a dark chocolate coating
- a white chocolate coating
- or a dusting of ascorbic acid (canning supplies) and sugar for a pucker effect

oh, quick question – how many oranges did you do with this amount of sugar/water? I would assume you could do a smaller amount with less as long as you kept the proportions the same?

I think the basics of what matter are:
- blanch the sliced fruits in boiling water
- keep covered in sugared water
- increase that sugar percentage almost daily

Love making candied orange rind dipped in chocolate. I always try to buy organic but for some reason, the skins always seem to be thinner and don’t work as nicely.

I bought Organic too. I think the skin thickness would depend on the variety / breeding of the fruit.

Just a note Laura- to candy just the orange rind is quicker and a separate post. This one here is for candying the whole fruit (in slice form), pulp and all. Here’s the candied orange peel procedure I use.

I’ve had that longing for this recipe for such a long time. Something this season just snapped! :) You’ll note I didn’t do his final step (the rub the side of the pot to initiate crystallization). If you do and feel it makes a difference- let me know. I was just happy to get over my geek point of thinking I needed a refractometer (though I still kind of want one- eBay could be a bad enabler here!).

This past summer, despite some warnings in other books against doing so, I candied some strawberries using JPW’s method. Considering the fragile nature of ripe Hoods, I opted to leave them whole and used the smallest berries I had on hand. I still have a few left, 7 months later, and they seem to be holding up OK (JPW says they should keep up to a year).

I was going to try some candying other fruits but I got sidetracked with other projects and the other fruits never got candied. Maybe next summer. Your post got me thinking about candied fruit again, and I have a couple of lemons in the kitchen that are potential victims.

I would love to try this recipe, but I can’t figure out what you mean by – 1 kg of sugar and 600 g of water, and-
100g of sugar. How much is that in standard American measurements? Thanks Jen

Jen- those are weights. You are going to have to weigh the ingredients to get an accurate measurement.
If you want volumetric measurements- just google your conversion question. (Ex: google How many cups in 1 kg – sugar?).

Hope that helps

posted March 1st, 2009 at 9:07 pm

1 g = 1 ml of water: 600 ml = 2.5 cups

WikiAnswers says that 100 g sugar is 0.44 cup (I’d imagine using 1/2 cup is safe?). So 1 kg sugar is between 4 1/3 c and 4 1/2 cups.

This page should be helpful too: http://www.jsward.com/cooking/conversion.shtml

I made these and they were wonderful!

We have a navel orange tree that provides copious but less than sweet fruit, so I picked a few for this recipe. I have to admit that I wasn’t too sure about the safety of unrefrigerated sugar syrup, so I actually brought the syrup just to a boil each time I added more sugar.

After drying for a couple of days, I tossed the slices in sugar as directed and dipped them halfway in 72% chocolate. They’re so sweet on their own that I really think the chocolate provides the perfect balance.

Every single person who tried them LOVED them. My coworker actually did a happy dance in the office (and he’s a foodie who’s hard to impress!) when he ate his first one. It’s a joy to behold a 6’4″ burly guy doing a happy dance over food.

Sadly, they are all gone. Happily, there are many more oranges on the tree….

A couple questions:
1. Why do they need to be blanched? Why can’t you just skip this step?
2. Why don’t you just start out with a thick syrup solution to begin with and let the oranges sit? Is this because liquid from the oranges is released into the solution, making it necessary to add more sugar in order to get the sugar content back up?

I started a batch yesterday….What do you think about the upper limit of how many oranges could be made in this amount of solution? I have doubled the oranges, and the solution, but it looks like a lot of extra syrup–probably 6inches above the tops of my oranges in this particular container. I’m wondering if I could have just used the same sugar water as if I’d made a single batch?
Thoughts?

Hi Kathryn,

I just started a batch that fits 4 large navel oranges into this size of sugar solution. It’s a tight fit. You should be fine adding more orange if you feel you have a lot of empty solution space.

Tell me, if you would, would you also blanch things like pineapple slices and whole apricots? Do you know what would happen to the flavors if you had mixed fruits in the same macerating syrup?

hi all, just a little info for people who are thinking of trying to do candied lime slices.. my experience with candied limes suggests that it does not work, when i made the attempt they came out with a very bitter flavour and a very “off” undertone.. i don’t know how to describe it.. it just tasted wrong. I was using key limes and the same sugar solution as for orange slices. I was unable to eat the results. i don’t know if others have tried this, but i would suggest caution.

Go ahead and put a lid on it- it will help reduce the chances of mold spores settling down into the syrup.

I chose to use the Brownie Points recipe for candied fruit over several others that I had seen on-line. I much preferred the outcome of this method compared to the “cooking” method I had previously tried. Faster is not always better.

I used 6 small-sized naval oranges in the amount of solution in the recipe. There was room for more fruit, but that was all I had. This did not affect the outcome. I used a tall canister type glass jar without the lid and put a drinking glass (with water in it) down in the top to hold the oranges under the syrup.

I let them process at room temp and the container was not air-tight. The first batch I turned out using this two-week soaking process was excellent. I left some pieces plain and dipped some in dark semi-sweet chocolate. Everybody wanted more. Sooo…

The next batch I put up to process (which is just coming to the end of the 2 week period) has started to smell and taste fermented. The syrup has turned cloudy. Also, the oranges have not become translucent or tender in the syrup. I did everything the same as I did with the first batch with the following differences:
Since lots of juice ran out of cut-up oranges. I put some of that juice (about 1/2 cup) in place of some of the water when making the initial syrup. I have kept this batch in an air-tight glass canister. Also, I did not allow the syrup/oranges to cool down before I put the air-tight lid on the canister after adding more sugar.

I’m wondering what (of the above differences in processing) has caused the problem or if all contributed. Has anyone else had these characteristics occur and what was cause/outcome?

At the same time as this second batch of oranges, I applied the process to some fresh ginger root pieces. These do not smell or taste fermented and are translucent and tender. The syrup is not cloudy. The only difference here: no fruit juice in the syrup. I’m thinking that the juice in the syrup is the problem, all other things being equal.

I don’t know if the fermented taste and smell is a health risk, but the taste is definitely not as pleasant and the texture is not as it should be prior to the drying process. Well, we live and learn, huh? I’m doing lemons next.

Has anyone tried this process with black berries or raspberries?

- Elaine
posted May 12th, 2010 at 8:15 pm

I’m actually on day 3 of this recipe!

The one problem I’m faced with, is that there are sugar crystals forming at the bottom of my container. I’ve been following the recipe to a tee.

Is this normal? Any way around this?

Crystals forming is a risk with any saturated solution. Tip to avoid crystals- use a very clean container that has a very smooth surface. Crystals will grow when they find a rough spot or bump to nucleate from.

I think its ok for the process if you have them. If its easy to do, chip them off and heat them in your solution to dissolve, or transfer your solution and oranges to a new clean container- don’t worry, you won’t have to start over, just pick up where you left off.

Hope this works

JUST reached the end of the 2week process – and they turned out FANtastic! Thank you for posting this recipe! A couple of points…

- I didn’t add sugar each day, more like every 2nd day.
- I missed adding sugar for 2-3 days at teh end of teh recipe … not sure if it was due to this, but when I came back much of the solution had crystalized and turned almost into a glue. I heated the bowl in the sun (and then the oven on low heat for a few mins) which was enough to free the orange pieces – but the oranges slices still had lots of crystalized sugar stuck on. So I soaked each slice in hot water for ~2 mins, shook them dry, then laid them out to dry – thankfully, that did the trick, and they turned out fab!
- added some water and then reduced the leftover solution, makes a great orange syrup!

Question – if I do the same process with just orange peels, do you expect that the soaking in sugar solution time could be reduced by a week?

Thanks for the feedback Ali.
As too a shortened soaking time with just peels- I suspect not. However, you could use the more traditional method of simmering the peels in sugar syrup, as detailed here.

Have fun!

I was so excited to try this recipe after eating candied oranges in Paris. On the 4th day the liquid was cloudy and smelled like it was fermenting. It foamed up when I added the sugar. Should I start over or continue? Each time I added sugar and heated the liquid, I would just heat and stir until the sugar was dissolved. Should I have brought it almost to boiling? Would that prevent fermenting?

@cindy: cloudiness and odor definately indicates bacteria (and early fermentation, most likely!)
which means that either the blanching wasn’t quite long enough, a utensil was contaminated, or some airborn bacteria got into the container. Personally, i’d start fresh, and make sure you bring the liquid to a simmer at least once a week, not just enough to dissolve the crystals. however, that’s just a personal opinion.

Thank you for this truly amazing recipe! I was hesitant to try it due to the time commitment, but happy I did! I probably missed three days of adding sugar over the course of the two weeks.

Living in Miami, Florida, we have high humidity issues, not to mention bugs, so leaving the orange slices out to dry for a day or two is a serious issue. I drained the slices for a few minutes then put them in a food dehydrater for about six hours, moving the layers hourly. This worked fantastic! When the slices were only slightly tacky, I coated them in sugar and layered them individually in a airtight container.

Perfection, now I want to dip them in chocolate, but, again the humidity affects the tempered chocolate and if my beautiful orange slices get that moldy looking bloom, my heart will break!

Well my personal notes on these is as follows.
1. Make sure everything is clean… sounds obvious but just remember to do it.
2. While blanching the oranges or fruit of choice dont worry if they already float, just keep them in for about 2-3 minutes. Oranges you can tell are finished by the change in color on the fruit.
3. You can skip days, the recipe isnt picky. Shortening the time however ends badly.
4. If your really worried about mold or something growing during the process first check to see if the location you picked is “safe” no pets going to stick their noses in it, or dust. This is easily done by simply keeping the fruit in a pot and placing the lid ontop :P
5. I use a cold location, in my case a stone windowsill (inside) with the window behind it cracked open. This is in fall, now that it is winter I leave the window closed.

Also, if you add more then 100g sugar that last day the solution is just about perfect for making rock candy, simply pour the remaining solution into small smooth containers and hang a BBQ Skewer (or similar) into the solution.

I commented on this back in 2009. I have made these the last two years and wanted to update my experience. These are a huge hit and now, starting in early November we start to get queries as to if I am making them again. Each time I have upped the number I’m making as there are never enough. This year I did 24 oranges (plus the end rinds cut into strips–seems a shame to waste) and a double batch of solution is the perfect amount to cover them all. I keep them in a 16qt covered stock pot on my counter. I pour out as much of the solution each day that fits comfortable into a 3qt saucepan for the reheating. It seems to work fine and I’ve had not problem with mold or fermentation. I take them out of the final soak today.
I thought I had jotted the proportion of citric acid that I added to my sugar for coating, but I can’t seem to find it. I guess I’ll taste as I go and will be sure to write it down this year.
THANK YOU for sharing such a wonderful recipe–I’d be inclined to be selfish with this one!

I have made these orange slices for the second year for Christmas I have a huge jar of the syrup left – do you think it’s possible to make a nut brittle with the syrup. Thank you

Another caveat: Don’t mix different fruits together in the same batch. Or at least don’t mix them with grapefruit. I made a batch of orange, lemon, lime and grapefruit, and every piece tastes like grapefruit.

I used the lime because I had bought it before I read the comments not to use them. Once I had it, I thought I would try to figure out why they don’t work. I’m certainly no expert, but it seems like the limes don’t get soft, regardless of how long you cook them. I cooked some of them longer just to see, but the skin was still tough.

The cool thing is that you can even use the ends of the fruits. I initially cut them off but then decided to throw them in, and they’re just as soft as the pulpy pieces.

Also, I think I’ll lean toward thicker rather than thinner in my next batch. I was aiming for 1/8″, but most of the pulp fell out during cooking, so I ended up with candied rinds (except for those darned limes; they stayed together like nobody’s business).

Two questions: Has anyone tried infusing the oranges in honey instead of sugar syrup? How about adding horseradish to the infusion? (I’m trying to figure out a way to make horseradish-infused candied/dried oranges to add some kick.)

Before you used to spend time and money on investigating the web market preferences, you should notice, now you can just find out about all of your competitors advertising settings using Idle Crawler.
It is modern and innovative software from Gygaclicks LP, created to make marketing research easier and faster.
Idle Crawler is acting with the help of thousands robots which are installed on users’ computers. But! It’s not collecting private information about users, it’s not a virus and it’s not showing user any ad information, but in contrast it displays advertisements in the way as users see it.
What we use?
• RTB (Real Time Bidding)
• SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Collect information about google search engine result pages for different keywords and positions of your competitor over there.
• SEM (Search Engine Marketing) Find out your competitor settings used in advertising. Keywords, geolocation, timetargeting, mounthly budget.
• SMM (Social Media Marketing) Get the data about twitter posts activity.
In our software we used developments that were applied in the investigation of the human genome.
So how it works?
1) User by himself installs our software and after he doesn’t have to do anything special about it
2) When our server gets the task from customer, it sends the task to a selected group of robots on users’ computers
3) Than robots perform the task and when it’s done robots just fall asleep.
Our IP addresses are not blacklisted.
Data, which is collected by our service, is more accurate in several times.
We collect very precise geo-data, even streets in the city, while competitors’ geo limited only with Amazon datacenters’ IP-addresses.

So if you are going to be informed about all of your competitors advertising settings you have just to try Idle Crawler and you’ll see the difference. http://idlecrawler.com
