Candied orange slice

Candied orange slices are thin rounds of orange slowly cooked in a sugar syrup, which removes the natural bitterness of the peel and leaves behind a soft, sweet citrus flavour. Their texture is tender and somewhat translucent, with a slight chewiness typical of candied fruit. Since the whole slice is processed, including peel, flesh and the graceful pattern of the segments, a decorative sweet is created with a fresh, fruity taste and a subtle sweetness. Candied orange slices are often enjoyed on their own as a treat, but also serve as an attractive garnish on cakes and desserts or are dipped in dark chocolate. Their striking, round shape with the characteristic citrus pattern makes them a graceful and recognizable element on any dessert plate.
