Ingredients

  • 3 blood oranges , ends trimmed and sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar

Instructions

  • Combine water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add blood orange slices.
  • Simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Remove blood orange slices with a slotted spoon and transfer to a cooling rack, which is placed over a baking sheet.
  • Let orange slices dry for 24 hours, uncovered, until they are dry and not tacky. Alternatively, to speed up the drying process, dry them in the oven at 150F for 2 hours. I prefer the air-drying method.
  • Store in a zip lock bag for up to a week.
