INGREDIENTS
1.2 kg oranges, scrubbed, halved lengthways, thinly sliced crossways
8 cups water
8 cups white sugar, approximately
- Step 1
- Place orange and water in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to stand overnight.
- Step 2
- Transfer to a large saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hr or until reduced by about one-third.
- Step 3
- Cool slightly, then measure the mixture and add 1 cup of sugar per cup of fruit mixture. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to the boil. Cook, skimming any dense froth from the surface with a large metal spoon, for 45 mins or until setting point is reached (see tips).
- Step 4
- Spoon into warm sterilised jars. Seal and label.
