Bring the sugar and water to a boil, stirring occassionally, over medium-high heat. Make sure the sugar fully dissovles.
Reduce heat to medium.
Use tongs to carefully add the oranges to the sauce pan. They can be overlapping a bit but make sure to not overcrowd the pan.
Allow the orange slices to simmer in the simple syrup for about 45 minutes or until the white parts become mostly translucent.
Carefully remove the orange slices from the pan and set them on the wire cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet or on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Bake the candied orange slices in oven for about 2 to 4 hours or until they become slightly tacky and set.
Remove from oven and allow them to cool.
Optional: Gently press both sides of the candied orange slices in a bowl of granulated sugar for added sweetness and to help give them a festive look.
Serve when cooled, dip in melted chocolate, top a cake or other dessert, or use as garnish for drinks.
