How To Make Candied Oranges| Tanghulu Oranges

Insert apple sticks into the center of each orange.

In a pot, combine 3 cups of sugar, 2 cups of water, and 1 cup of corn syrup.

Stir to incorporate the sugar, corn syrup, and water, but do not overmix.

Place the pot on low to medium heat and add a candy thermometer, ensuring the tip only touches the liquid.

Boil the mixture and monitor the temperature; it should reach about 220° after 5 minutes.

Watch for the boil to slow down as the mixture thickens, and do not let it exceed 300°.

Once the mixture reaches 300°, turn off the stove and wait for the bubbles to subside.

Roll each orange in the candy mixture to coat, then place on a silicone mat to cool.
