Ingredients
- Oranges: 4 large
- White Sugar: 2 cups
- Water: 2 cups
- Dark Chocolate: 50g
Instructions
- Slice the oranges evenly into rounds, removing any seeds.
- In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat gently until sugar dissolves into syrup.
- Add orange slices in a single layer. Simmer on low heat for 45–60 minutes until translucent, turning occasionally.
- Remove slices carefully and place on a cooling rack to dry for several hours or overnight.
- Melt dark chocolate slowly in a small bowl. Dip each orange slice halfway, letting excess drip off.
- Place on parchment paper to set, then serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm oranges for best results.
- Keep syrup at a gentle simmer to prevent bitterness.
- Allow slices to dry completely before dipping in chocolate.
- Sprinkle a little sea salt on chocolate for an elegant touch.
