Wash the oranges thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Stir over medium heat until dissolved.

Add the orange slices into the simmering syrup and stir to coat. Let them simmer for about 1 hour.

Remove the slices from the syrup and place them on a wire rack to cool.

Optionally, roll them in granulated sugar for a more candied appearance and let them dry completely.
