Method

  1. Place all the ingredients, except the oranges and sugar, in a preserving pan and bring to the boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 30 minutes until the mixture is soft.
  2. Add oranges and sugar. Stir over the heat until the sugar has dissolved, then simmer gently for 45 minutes until the mixture is thick and pulpy.
  3. Spoon into hot sterilised jars and seal. Store for at least a week before eating. Keeps for 6-12 months.

Tip: To sterilise glass jars, wash in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Dry in the oven for 15-20 mins at gas 1, 140°C, fan 120°C until hot and completely dry. Boil metal lids and rubber seals for 10 mins, then leave to dry. You can store the jar in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months. Once opened, keep in the fridge for up to a week.
