Ingredients

Scale

2.0 to 2.3 pounds oranges (about 4 medium)
1 lemon (zest and juice of)
1/3 cup water
4 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

Wash the oranges and lemon thoroughly, scrubbing the peels clean.
Cut off the ends of each orange, halve them, and chop each half into four pieces—discard any seeds.
In a food processor, pulse the chopped oranges until the rind is finely chopped. Place a plate in the freezer for testing doneness later.
Transfer the pureed oranges to a large saucepan over medium heat. Zest the lemon into the pot and squeeze in its juice. Add water and sugar; stir to combine.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle boil, stirring often for about 30-35 minutes until thickened.
Test consistency using the cold plate method; pour into jars when ready and let cool before sealing.
