Other great dried fruit that I always buy at Costco are Costco dried mango, Mariani dried apricots and Craisins dried cranberries.
my Costco doesn’t carry the mandarin oranges any longer. where can I get them?
Check Trader Joe’s. I’ve found them the last few visits.
Same happened to me at Mt. Prospect and Lake Zurich IL stores…what’s up? I love these!!!
Just made sooner today. Took five mandarin oranges in sections on a perforated pizza pan in 200 degree F oven for just over an hour. So so easy, so delicious ready for dipping in chocolate, great Xmas gifts. Also made candied orange peel from a google recipe, but didn’t dip them in sugar,dried to a soft chewy peel again ready for dipping in chocolate. So easy

A follow up to the orange slices, I dipped some in chocolate and left the rest on counter for a week. The ones on counter have spoiled and the ones in fridge don’t look very good either. You would have to make and serve within a few days . Thought I should share that so some don’t make them for presents. I only half dipped the oranges slices don’t know If totally immersing them would make a difference. Will try to candy them first before drying but doubt it will work on such soft fruit . Hope this helps.theorange peel is great though don’t dry them too hard.
TRY drying thin Lemon slices till they are crispy, They are good to add to a drink to add a slight lemony flavor to water.
