Zubereitung von Sunny Southern Preserved Oranges
- Peel 10 large oranges and slice them into 1-inch thick rounds.
- Place the orange slices in a large, non-reactive pot (stainless steel or enamel). Add 1 cup of cold water for each whole orange (about 10 cups of water for 10 oranges).
- Cover the pot and let the oranges sit at room temperature for 24 hours to soften.
- After 24 hours, bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 45-60 minutes, or until the orange slices are tender.
- Stir in 4 cups granulated sugar and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the syrup becomes translucent and the oranges are almost candied (about 15-20 minutes).
- While the mixture simmers, prepare your jars by sterilizing them in boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove them carefully and keep them hot.
- Ladle the hot orange slices and syrup into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace at the top of each jar.
- Wipe the jar rims with a clean, damp cloth to remove any syrup or sugar crystals.
- Place lids on the jars and screw on the bands finger-tight.
- Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Ensure jars are fully submerged during processing.
- Remove jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Check for seals by pressing on the center of each lid; if it doesn't flex, it's sealed.
