Method
- Blanch the unpeeled oranges in a large pan of boiling water for 3 minutes to kill off the natural yeasts on the surface of the peel that might cause fermentation. Drain.
- Halve the oranges and squeeze the juice into a large sealable jar or large bowl, then add the peel and the rest of the ingredients. Seal the jar or cover the bowl with a double layer of cling film, then leave to infuse for at least a month.
- Strain through a muslin-lined sieve into a large jug. Decant into sterilised bottles (see Know-how), then seal and label.
