Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.0 to 2.3 pounds fresh oranges (about 4 medium)
  • 1 lemon (zest and juice)
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 4 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly wash the oranges and lemon, scrubbing the peels.
  2. Cut off the ends of the oranges, halve them, and chop each half into four pieces, discarding any seeds.
  3. In a food processor, pulse the orange pieces until finely chopped.
  4. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped oranges, lemon zest and juice, water, and sugar.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a low boil. Stir frequently for 30-35 minutes until thickened.
  6. Test doneness by pouring a spoonful onto a cold plate; it should gel slightly.
  7. Pour into jars or containers once cooked and let cool before refrigerating or freezing.
