Next, lightly dust the flattened pieces with powdered sugar to reduce stickiness and add a subtle sweetness. Sprinkle finely chopped or crushed pecans over the surface, pressing them in gently so they adhere. The nuts provide a pleasant contrast to the citrus flavor and add texture to each bite. Let the candy rest at room temperature until it sets, forming a soft but structured treat that’s easy to slice or serve whole.
Store your finished candy in an airtight container at room temperature and enjoy within several days for best freshness. For variety, try using other fruit-flavored slices to create colorful assortments. Packaged in small jars or decorative boxes, these candies also make thoughtful homemade gifts. With minimal effort and classic ingredients, this recipe offers a simple way to celebrate tradition and share a touch of sweetness.
