Old orange candy recipes

  1. Prepare Pan:
    • Line a square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides. Grease the parchment paper lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare Orange Mixture:
    • In a medium saucepan, combine orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, sugar, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Bring to a Boil:
    • Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it reaches a boil, add the fruit pectin, and continue stirring.
  4. Cook until Setting Point:
    • Continue boiling and stirring until the mixture reaches the setting point, which is typically around 220°F (104°C) on a candy thermometer. This might take about 15-20 minutes.
  1. Pour into Pan:
    • Once the setting point is reached, pour the hot orange mixture into the prepared baking pan.
  2. Let it Set:
    • Allow the candy to cool and set at room temperature for several hours or overnight.
  3. Cut into Slices:
    • Once the candy has fully set, use a sharp knife to cut it into slices or desired shapes.
  4. Coat in Sugar:
    • Roll each candy slice in additional sugar to coat them lightly.
  5. Store:
    • Store the orange candies in an airtight container, layered with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Enjoy your homemade orange slices candy with their sweet and tangy flavor reminiscent of old-fashioned treats! Adjust the sugar coating to your preference for sweetness.
