Ingredients

1½cupswater

½cupgranulated sugar

1navel orange

Preparation

In a medium skillet, combine the water and sugar and bring to a boil. Add the orange slices and cook over moderate heat, turning them occasionally, for about 20 minutes until the liquid is reduced to a thin syrup and the orange slices are translucent.

Reduce the heat to moderately low and simmer for about 10 minutes until the syrup is thick and the slices are tender but still intact, turning occasionally.

Transfer the orange slices to a rack to cool. Reserve the syrup for another use.

Serve and enjoy.
