Tips:

Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. Choose oranges that are heavy for their size and have a smooth, blemish-free skin.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
Be careful when working with hot sugar syrup. It can cause severe burns.
Allow the orange knots to cool completely before storing them. They will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
