These tangy treats were actually a favorite of mine when I was growing up. I hope that you and your loved ones will enjoy them just as much.
- 6 navel oranges
- 2 c. sugar
- 2 c. water
- ¾ c. light corn syrup
Boil the whole navel oranges (unpeeled) in water for 1 hour. Cool them slightly and slice them into ½ inch thick pieces. Place in a single layer in a baking dish.
Combine the sugar, water, and corn syrup to create a sauce. Pour the sauce over the orange slices until they are almost covered.
Bake the slices in a 300 degree oven 1-1/2 hours. Store the slices in the refrigerator in their juice, covered. These will keep for 3 weeks ... if they last that long! They are terrific spooned over vanilla ice cream!
