| Caramelized Orange slices |
1 organic
orange, cut into thin round slices
4
tablespoons granulated sugar
4
tablespoons water
Arrange
the slices in a large non-stick pan without overlapping. Spread sugar and water
over the slices, stirring with a spoon and turning the slices so that the sugar
dissolves well in water.
Turn the
heat on low, and cook until the water has evaporated and the sugar forms bubbles
on the surface. As soon as the sugar begins to color, immediately remove
from heat.
Gently
transfer the orange slices on parchment paper and let them dry for a few hours
at room temperature.

| Dark chocolate covered orange slices |
To cover the slices with dark
chocolate, microwave 1/3 cup of dark chocolate pieces for 15 seconds first. Stir well and microwave again 10
seconds. Each time stir and mix the
chocolate until it has melted. The chocolate does not need to be hot, just
melted. Dip one side of the orange slice in the melted dark chocolate, sprinkle with sea salt, and place
on parchment paper to cool until hardened.
The preparation for these little jewels are quick and
easy. After they have dried, you have tasty caramelized orange slices that are
perfect to use as a cake or cupcake decorations, cover them with dark chocolate
to serve like candy, or eat them as a tasty little snack. These little jewels
are sold in candy shops all around Italy.
You can also make them with lemon slices… and yes you eat the entire
slice!
