Ingredients:

  • 2 large oranges
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • cinnamon stick
  • clove, etc

Directions:

  1. Peel oranges and cut in 1/2 inch slices.
  2. Place orange slices in a large pot and add 1 cup cold water for each whole orange.
  3. Cover and let stand for 24 hours.
  4. After 24 hours bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until tender.
  5. Add sugar and lemon juice and continue to cook until transparent.
  6. Ladle fruit and syrup in sterilized jars and seal.
  7. NOTE: This recipe card was really old and handwritten- it did not say to process in a water bath- just 'seal'. Also- the sugar/water ratio can be adjusted weaker or stronger depending on your preference.
  8. Modern bottling directions: Fill hot, sterilized jars quickly with the hot mixture, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
  9. Wipe the sealing surface of the jars with a clean paper towel, dampened with hot water, to remove any syrup or sugar crystals.
  10. Place lids, screw on bands finger-tight and process jars for 10 minutes in boiling water bath.
