Whole candied oranges are beautiful, unusual, and increasingly hard to find. Their rich citrus flavor, glossy appearance, and pleasantly chewy texture make them a distinctive ingredient for Italian pastries, sweet breads, cookies, fruitcakes, and holiday desserts.
Slice it for decorating, cut it into wedges for dipping in chocolate, or dice it for baking. Because the orange is sold whole, you can prepare it in the exact size and shape your recipe requires.
