Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor and aroma for your jelly candies.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: This will help release the orange's essential oils and give your candies a more intense flavor.
  • Strain the orange juice: Straining the orange juice will remove any pulp or seeds that could make your candies cloudy or gritty.
  • Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer is essential for making jelly candies. It will help you ensure that the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature, which is critical for the success of your candies.
  • Be patient: Making jelly candies takes time and patience. Do not rush the process, or your candies will not turn out properly.
