You are very good at presenting and explaining the process. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! 💛
Would be great dipped in chocolate!
Oooh, yes, they would!
@@FloralApronBlog YUMMM
This is the type of content RUclips should be. Great camera work, amazing editing, sound/music on point. You deserve many more subs as I sure you will get. Let me add one now.
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 😂
You instruct so well and the oranges look delicious!
Thank you so much! That's kind of you to say 🥰
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! 😊
Thanks so much for your kind words and subscribing! Glad I could help :)
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
That makes me so happy to hear, thank you for letting me know!

Hope you and your loved ones enjoy them thoroughly!
I'll bet that smells AMAZING!
It sure does! 🤤
Yum!
Thank you!! 💐
Soooo yummy! 😋
Thank you!! 💛
Thank you! We’re dipping part of ours in dark chocolate based on something I tried passing through the Vegas airport a while back. Incredible!
Yum, I've been meaning to do that myself! Hope you enjoy :)
@@FloralApronBlog The place is called Ethel M Chocolates. They have truly unique and beautiful chocolates, etc.
They look so good. Blessings….
Thank you! 💛
I could make these! 😍😋🍊🍊🍊
Yes, you could!! 😍
Made this B4 with peels, but love these slices! I use the leftover syrup for coffee and tea...cant wait 2 try this!
Yay, I hope you love them!
I used this video to learn how to candy my lemons! Thank uuuu
Glad to hear it!
You’re supposed to blanch them twice and you should dip them immediately at the last time when they come out from the simple syrup sugar
You're welcome to make them your way! I have had great success with this recipe as I've shared it, as have many others here in the comments :)
God bless you so much for your long hair and thank you for for sharing
Thank you so much! 💛
Everything looks AMAZING. Just hope nobody ate a long hair
Thanks! With hair this long, it takes a LOT for it to get anywhere I don't want it, so rest assured, the food is safe lol ;)
My husband and I both love oranges so we will enjoy these orange slices. My husband loves lemons too. Can I use this same process for Lemons?
Yep! Hope you enjoy!
Beautiful! Could they be stored long term please? Love fm London, UK
Yep! I have a section on storage details in the recipe post on my website :) floralapron.com/candied-orange-slices/
@@FloralApronBlog Thank you so much. Subbed to your lovely channel. Best wishes.
I am about to make these today and give to family for Christmas. I have my lemon and orange slices pre-cut in a air tight container in the fridge. can you put orange and lemon slices in the same pot or does it have to be separate?
Same pot is fine! Hope they love them 💛
These look lovely! For approx how much time did you cook them in sugar syrup?
Thank you! They don't take long at all before the rind starts becoming translucent-the thinner ones take about a minute; the thicker ones are closer to two :)
@@FloralApronBlog Thanks so much! You're the best! ♥️
Beautiful!!Can we use brown sugar?
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.
@@FloralApronBlog Thank you 😊
Just made these before watching the video. I used yellow sugar and we love it. My process was a little different though.
Hoping this works the same for lemons!
It will! They'll be a little more tart but still delicious 💛
can you do lemons the same way as the oranges.
Yes! They will be a bit more tart, but it's the same recipe :)
Thank you for answering so fast.
can you freeze the candied orange slices?
Yep! Details are in the recipe card on my website 💛
Mine still ended up really bitter what am i doing wrong? Should i blanch more then once?
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!
I have watched many video's on candied lemons and oranges and tried a few and must say with the long cooking nearly an hour the middle of my lemons disintegrated and I was very disappointed. I'm definitely going to try your method. Another lady left her sliced lemons in water in the fridge overnight, and then blanched them the next day and then in the sugar syrup. I am also wondering if you can use the same syrup for your next batch
Oh, very interesting! I'm not sure exactly what leaving the slices in the water overnight does, short of giving you infused citrus water. I suppose it could remove some of the bitterness, but I think you would still need to blanch them to remove all of it... I could be wrong, though!
If you make another batch within 1-2 weeks, I think you'd be able to reuse the syrup (if you stored it in the fridge between uses)!
If you try either one of those, I'd love to know how they work for you! Thanks for watching 💛
Yes, you still have to blach them the next day. I will first try your method
Please help me understand. Why the ice bath when the slices are going to be put from bath into boiling simple syrup?
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 :)
Thank you!
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 :)
How long will they last
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 :)
How do you store them? Thank you!!!
Like parchment between layers or? :)
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!
Hi! You must have missed me talking about exactly that at 8:26 :)
I save about a cup (that's still more than I can use before it goes bad 😅), then dump the rest because I don't have a large enough container to store it all
Yeah!!! You wear an apron!!!!
Yes haha! Most of the time, unless I think I'm going to overheat while filming. This floral one is surprisingly thick 😅
I was anxious, worrying about your hair catching on fire because it’s so long
There's at least a foot between the burner and my hair; the angle makes it look a lot closer. But it hasn't happened yet! Hopefully never will ;)
