Ingredients:

• Maldon sea salt flakes, for garnish

Instructions:

Warm the oven up to 200F 93C

Put parchment paper on the bottom of a baking sheet

Put the fennel seeds, water, and granulated sugar in a small saucepan

Over medium-low heat, bring to a simmer and stir every now and then until the sugar is completely dissolved

When the syrup starts to bubble, add the blood orange slices

They should be cooked for about 10 minutes, or until they are soft and a little clear

Take them out of the syrup and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet that has been prepared

After the oven is hot, bake the orange slices for one to two hours, or until they are dry and a little crispy

When the orange slices are cool enough to serve, sprinkle them with Maldon sea salt flakes
