Preparation time : 9 Hrs 0 Min
Cooking time : 0 Min
Level of difficulty : Medium
Ingredients
12 servings
- 2Kg(4lb) of bitter oranges, to give about 1Kg (2lb) rind
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 cups water
- 1 cinnamon stick
Preparation
- Pick healthy bitter oranges and remove all the orange colored rind with a grater. Then halve the oranges and empty them of their juice and pips.
- Cover what remains of the oranges with water. This should be renewed daily until the oranges lose their bitterness, at which point they are drained and cooked in a syrup flavored with a cinnamon stick until they are tender. If the water boils down too fast, top it up every so often and continue simmering until the rind softens.
- Once cooked the rinds can be sliced. Keep in the fridge, or sterilize.
