In this article, we will present you with a simple and delicious recipe to create these treats without adding sugar .
Ingredients:
- 2 oranges bio
- Cascade
- Natural sweetener (optional)
- Optional: cinnamon, cloves, vanilla for flavoring
Instructions:
1. Preparing the oranges:
First, wash the oranges thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticide residue. Be sure to use organic oranges, as the peel will be used in this recipe.
2. Cut the oranges:
Cut the oranges into thin slices, trying to obtain uniform sections. Remove the seeds from the slices, if necessary.
3. Blanch the orange slices:
In a large saucepan, bring enough water to a boil to cover the orange slices. Once boiling, add the orange slices and let them boil for about 5 minutes. This will help remove the bitterness from the peel.
4. Rinse and repeat:
Drain the blanched orange slices and rinse them well under cold water. Repeat this boiling and rinsing process three times in total. This will help make the orange slices sweeter and less bitter.
5. Low-temperature cooking:
Arrange the orange slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are spaced apart. Place the pan in an oven preheated to 90°C (195°F) and bake the orange slices for approximately 2-3 hours. This slow, low-temperature process will dry the orange slices without burning them.
6. Flavoring (optional):
If you'd like to add an extra touch of flavor to your candied orange slices, you can add spices like cinnamon, cloves, or vanilla extract. Lightly sprinkle the orange slices with your chosen spices before baking them.
7. Conservation :
Once the orange slices are completely dry, let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Then store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Sugar-free candied orange slices can last for several weeks if stored properly.
