It's not quite in my closet, but near it... I'd have to bring the bowl down to the kitchen every day though... Also, can I do different thicknesses in the same batch? Or do they need to be uniformly sliced? I am excited, and hoping to start these today or tomorrow :) I am dying to make these, they look amazing :)

Tiny, whole oranges candied and dipped in dark chocolate! Heaven! We sat at the theatre with juice running down our arms, but it was worth every lick!

I left the oranges in the jar full of sugar solution for an extra week while I was gone on vacation. When I returned I found small clear to white structures floating on the top of the syrup. I can't tell if they are sugar crystals or mold. Has anyone else experienced this? Just finished the recipe.

Mine took a full week to dry since it's humid where I live. I'm starting another batch. These are absolutely wonderful. Mom's gone, but I remember how much she loved to find confectioners who offered these. Over the years we could only find jellies that looked like this. They are just not as good. Finding this recipe was a great Christmas present. Thank you for sharing. And, thanks to the others for warning me about the limes. They were a condidate I was considering. WOW I loved them.

I also did limes but, as deanna above said, did not taste right. I threw them away. I still have the separate syrups for the orange and lemon. Any ideas on what I can do with the syrup?

I was using key limes and the same sugar solution as for orange slices. I was unable to eat the results. i don't know if others have tried this, but i would suggest caution. <blockquote>interesting results Deanna. I wonder if they need more bouts of blanching? Also- did you use organic limes? --McAuliflower</blockquote> hi all, just a little info for people who are thinking of trying to do candied lime slices.. my experience with candied limes suggests that it does not work, when i made the attempt they came out with a very bitter flavour and a very “off” undertone.. i don’t know how to describe it.. it just tasted wrong.

That brought me to your recipe and tutorial. They look fabulous and the variations sound too good to overlook too. Tell me, if you would, would you also blanch things like pineapple slices and whole apricots? Do you know what would happen to the flavors if you had mixed fruits in the same macerating syrup? Thanks so much. I'm really looking forward to starting these right after our Thanksgiving for next Christmas. Merry, merry to one and all! Hi-
