Wash the oranges and slice them into thin rounds (about 1/4 inch thick), removing any seeds.

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until dissolved and bring to a gentle boil.

Add orange slices to the syrup, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 45 minutes until translucent.

Carefully remove slices with tongs and place them on parchment paper to cool completely.

Once cooled, roll each slice in granulated sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Serve immediately or package as gifts.
