Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Spread the citrus slices on two baking trays lined with parchment paper, ensuring they lie in a single layer. Preheat the oven to 110 °C/90 °C with convection/gas ¼. Bake for 2 hours until they become hard and dry, turning the trays over halfway through. Check after 1 hour 15 minutes, removing any orange slices that are drying too quickly, and continue baking the rest.

2. 2

   Allow them to cool completely on the trays, then package with the decorations of your choice.
