Sweetened Dried Blood Orange Slices

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time2 hours
Total Time2 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 blood oranges
  • 3 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Equipment & Utensils

  • Mandolin or very sharp serrated pairing knife
  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper

Instructions

  • Line baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Combine sugar and cinnamon and mix well then set aside.
  • Slice oranges very thin using either a mandolin or a very sharp knife. The thinner the better.
  • Lay out orange slices on the baking tray.
  • Sprinkle slices with half of the quantity of cinnamon sugar. Save the rest for the other side of the oranges.
  • Place in a preheated oven at 200 and allow orange slices to slowly dehydrate.
  • Turn after 1 hour and sprinkle with balance of cinnamon sugar and cook for another 1 hour.
  • Once orange slices are nicely dried, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • Store in an airtight container.

Notes

If you do not own a mandolin, it is likely that your orange slices will be a little thicker. If that is the case, no worries, just leave them in the oven for longer, they will dehydrate, but the process will take a little longer.
Remember, if you're using a mandolin, watch your fingers, use the safety holder if you have one.
