- 3 cinnamon sticks
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes

Directions:
1. Leaving the peel on, thin-slice oranges into ¼-inch slices.
2. In a wide pot, bring water and sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add orange slices and cinnamon sticks.
3. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 30 minutes. Using tongs, carefully turn oranges over throughout cooking process to prevent slices from cupping.
4. Using tongs, transfer candied orange slices to sheet pan lined with wax paper to cool.
