Description

Indulge in the refreshing citrus flavors of Homemade Orange Candy, a melt-in-your-mouth sweet treat that’s perfect for gifting or snacking.


Ingredients

– 2 cups white sugar

– 1/2 cup water

– 1 tablespoon orange zest

– 1/4 cup fresh orange juice


Instructions

1. – In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved.

2. – Remove from heat and stir in the orange zest and juice. Pour the mixture onto a silicone baking mat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

3. – Allow the candy to cool completely, then break or cut into bite-sized pieces.

4. – Store the Homemade Orange Candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

For a chewier texture, cook the candy mixture to 240°F on a candy thermometer before pouring onto the baking sheet. Experiment with different citrus zests or extracts for variations.
