These are great chewy treats by themselves or fun cake decorations! I use them on the Tangerine Butter Cake. I use tangerines because our family has a couple trees, but any citrus fruits should work with this recipe.
Ingredients:
3 tangerines
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup water
Slice fruit horizontally into thin, almost translucent slices.
Melt sugar with water in wide saucepan over low to medium heat. Reduce heat so bubbles no longer break surface and gently place slices into sugar water. (Any bubbling could break the pulp.)
Cover and steep for 12 - 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 200.
Gently shake slices and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake 30 minutes. Flip slices onto a fresh sheet of parchment and bake another 30 minutes. Repeat this step twice more. Two hours baking usually is enough - maybe longer if slices are thicker. They should be slightly firm but not browned.
Place slices on racks to cool and store stacked between sheets of parchment in air tight container until ready to use.
Sidenote: Strain the sugar water and return to saucepan. Simmer to let thicken and it makes a great flavored syrup for pancakes or waffles!
