This recipe for lovely candied orange slices is super-easy to make: Just simmer orange slices in sugar and water. The resulting orange-scented syrup is a delicious, and multipurpose, bonus.

To make candied zest from other citrus fruit, replace the 3 limes with 2 lemons, 1 large orange or 1 small grapefruit. It's best to use thick skinned citrus fruit.
