Directions

1. Put the orange slices into a large pan and cover with cold water. Simmer gently, partially covered with a lid until the peel is tender – about an hour.
2. Meanwhile, put all the other ingredients into a pan and heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes.
3. When the oranges slices are tender, drain them and place them, together with the syrup, into a bowl. Leave to stand overnight.
4. The next day return the orange slices and the syrup to a clean pan and cook for 30-40 minutes until translucent.
5. Pack oranges into warm sterilized jars and cover with syrup.
6. Seal and lable.
7. Store in a cool dark place for six to eight weeks before eating.
