Orange Caramels

Peel the oranges carefully, removing all the white part of the rind; separate them into sections without breaking the skin and lay them in confectioners' sugar for a short time. Make a syrup of loaf sugar and very little water, boil it till a very little of it tried in water is brittle, then dip the pieces of orange separately and quickly into it and lay them on a well-oiled tray to dry. They should be very carefully removed from the trays when dry, as the caramel is easily broken.
