Homemade orangettes owe their allure to the contrast of good-quality bittersweet chocolate and fresh, sweet oranges. These are so much better than the standard candies— plus they’re surprisingly easy to make. For a variation, try dipping lemons, limes, or tangerines and in white chocolate.
Ingredients
1½ cups 1½ cups 3 to 4
Method
Make a simple syrup by placing water and sugar in a saucepan over high heat. Boil until sugar has dissolved, using a wooden spoon to scrape down the sugar crystals on the side of the pan. Reduce heat to low.
Cut the tops and bottoms off the oranges. Score the oranges from “pole to pole” and then remove the peel and slice it into ½-inch strips.
