I have made these the last two years and wanted to update my experience. These are a huge hit and now, starting in early November we start to get queries as to if I am making them again. Each time I have upped the number I'm making as there are never enough. This year I did 24 oranges (plus the end rinds cut into strips--seems a shame to waste) and a double batch of solution is the perfect amount to cover them all. I keep them in a 16qt covered stock pot on my counter. I pour out as much of the solution each day that fits comfortable into a 3qt saucepan for the reheating. It seems to work fine and I've had not problem with mold or fermentation. I take them out of the final soak today. I thought I had jotted the proportion of citric acid that I added to my sugar for coating, but I can't seem to find it. I guess I'll taste as I go and will be sure to write it down this year. THANK YOU for sharing such a wonderful recipe--I'd be inclined to be selfish with this one! I commented on this back in 2009. I have made these the last two years and wanted to update my experience.

Make sure everything is clean... sounds obvious but just remember to do it. 2. While blanching the oranges or fruit of choice dont worry if they already float, just keep them in for about 2-3 minutes. Oranges you can tell are finished by the change in color on the fruit. 3. You can skip days, the recipe isnt picky. Shortening the time however ends badly. 4. If your really worried about mold or something growing during the process first check to see if the location you picked is "safe" no pets going to stick their noses in it, or dust. This is easily done by simply keeping the fruit in a pot and placing the lid ontop :P 5. I use a cold location, in my case a stone windowsill (inside) with the window behind it cracked open. This is in fall, now that it is winter I leave the window closed. Also, if you add more then 100g sugar that last day the solution is just about perfect for making rock candy, simply pour the remaining solution into small smooth containers and hang a BBQ Skewer (or similar) into the solution. Let them sit someplace *undisturbed* until they look done. And presto bio-flavored rock candy. Well my personal notes on these is as follows.

I found it when looking for a recipe for candied orange slices. I was going to try this with key limes--I'm glad I ran across these comments before wasting my efforts!

I was initially a bit hesitant because of the length of time, but I much preferred this method to boiling them in the sugar syrup etc. When my orages were finished I left half of the batch just as they were, my sister liked the juicier taste of these, and dipped the remaining half of the batch in dark chocolate, these make a wonderful smell when you open the lid to pick one out! Can't wait to set up my next batch. Thanks for sharing this great recipe :) Hi there,
