Chocolate covered oranges

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make chocolate covered oranges? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take two large oranges, dark chocolate, which, if desired, can be replaced with milk.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the oranges well under running water, as they will be cooked with the peel. Cut them into circles, about 5 mm thick. If you slice oranges thinner, the flesh will fall apart, and if thicker, the peel will remain bitter.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour water into a saucepan, put it on fire. Take high-quality filtered water. In boiling water, lower the orange slices for 3-4 minutes.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put the oranges in a colander and let the water drain. It is when cooking that all the bitterness from the orange peel goes away.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour about 600 ml of water into a suitable saucepan and add sugar (or a sweetener that is not afraid of heat treatment), put it on fire and wait until all the sugar has dissolved. Transfer the fruit slices to a saucepan with syrup. Cook over very low heat for one hour. Periodically check if the water boils off, add a little more. It is necessary to cook until the peel of the oranges becomes almost transparent, amber.

7. Step 6:

   

   Remove the oranges with a syrup slotted spoon and place them on a grate, which you place on a baking sheet. Place in an oven preheated to 130 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Then let the oranges cool down.

8. Step 7:

   

   These are the solar slices that turned out. These slices can decorate cakes or desserts, or just eat with tea.

9. Step 8:

   

   Melt the chocolate in a steam bath or microwave. If you get low-quality chocolate, and lumps form, add a little milk and butter, stir well.

10. Step 9:

    

    Gently dip the orange slices in chocolate to half, put them to harden on baking paper or a flat plate greased with butter. Do not put the dish in the refrigerator, wait until the chocolate freezes like this. I decorated the finished orange slices in chocolate a little, sprinkling with multicolored coconut chips.
