Ingredients

Method

• 3 litres water  
• 1 kg oranges 
• 1 kg Selati white sugar 

Method

Ingredients

1 Bring 2 litres water to the boil in a large saucepan.
2 Thinly slice the oranges into rounds. Add the oranges to the water and boil for 10 minutes. Drain, then repeat using clean water. This will help remove the bitter taste of the orange skin.
3 Place the sugar and remaining water in a saucepan. Boil until all the sugar has dissolved.
4 Add the boiled oranges, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes or until the syrup thickens and the oranges become glossy.
5 Preheat the oven to 100°C. Using a slotted spoon, remove the oranges from the sugar syrup, drain on kitchen paper, then pack onto a wire rack. Place the wire rack onto a baking tray. Bake until sticky and dry, about 45–60 minutes. Once ready, remove from the oven, cool and coat in more sugar.
6 Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
