(Sweet, Citrusy & Full of Nostalgia)
Old-fashioned orange candy is a simple homemade confection made from fresh oranges cooked gently in sugar syrup until tender, translucent, and beautifully fragrant. It’s chewy, shiny, and bursting with real orange flavor—just like the treats made in grandma’s kitchen.

- 3 large oranges (thick-skinned work best)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
