How to Make Oranges In Orange Syrup

  1. Zest 4 oranges using a microplane or fine grater, ensuring no bitter white pith is included.
  2. Julienne the orange zest into thin strips.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the zest, 1 cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and maintain a gentle simmer.
  5. Do not stir the mixture while simmering.
  6. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced and thickened into a syrup-like consistency.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of orange jelly and 1 tablespoon of orange liqueur (optional).
  8. Allow the syrup to cool completely and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  9. Carefully remove any remaining pith from the 4 oranges.
  10. Supreme the oranges: Using a sharp knife, cut between the membranes to separate the orange segments.
  11. To serve, arrange the orange segments artfully on individual plates or in elegant dessert glasses. Drizzle generously with the chilled orange syrup.
