    Course: Christmas, holidays, Thanksgiving
    Cuisine: American
    Servings: 8
    Author: Christine Galvani
    Ingredients
    • 4 Oranges (I like to use navel oranges, but you'll need a sturdy orange, not an overly mushy or juicy one for best results.)
    • 1/2 cup Sugar (Many sugars will work with this recipe. I prefer coconut sugar, turbinado sugar or regular sugar.)
    Instructions
    1. Gather and measure the ingredients.

    2. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F.

    3. Slice the oranges into approximately 1/4 inch slices.

    4. Toss orange slices in sugar and make sure both sides are coated well. You can use coconut sugar, regular sugar or turbinado sugar.

    5. Arrange the orange slices on a parchment-covered baking sheet.

    6. Place in oven and bake for one hour and a half hours.

    7. After baking for one hour, turn the orange slices over and bake for another hour and a half hours.

    8. Check the orange slices and if done - they'll be dry to the touch, they are done. To continue baking, turn the slices over and bake for another half hour or so checking to see if they are dried out as shown in photos.

    9. Once done, remove from the oven and cool completely.

    10. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
