| 1. Wash und rub well the oranges. | 2. Slice the orange peel in half, then quarters, then eighths - top to bottom. Remove peel in strips (eat the oranges!). | 3. Cut strips in half, across the width. | 4. Orange peel, with or without the external part, is bitter. This process removes most of that bitterness without bleaching out the flavor, and softens the peel. Place peel in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, timing from when it starts to bubble. | 5. Drain in a strainer or colander and rinse under running cold water. | 6. Repeat step 4 boiling for 3 minutes. Repeat step 5. Total boiling time: 11 minutes. | 7. Place sugar and water in a saucepan and stir until sugar is dissolved. | 8. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 5 minutes. | 9. Add orange peel, return to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes just until the syrup begins to thicken slightly (it should be quite syrupy - but thick enough to coat a metal spoon). | 10. Stir in lemon juice and remove pan from heat. | 11. Allow to cool completely before storing in sterilized jars. | 12. Note. I like to rolls peel strips before cooking them (fixing with a stick) or simply rolling them before placing in the jar. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
