Ingredients
- 3 medium or 4 small blood oranges (they should weigh around 500 grams in total)
- 2 teaspoons tartaric acid
- 2 ½ cups caster sugar
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Juice oranges (they should yield about 200ml of juice). Add tartaric acid and stir to combine.
- Add sugar and water to a saucepan, along with the zest from about ½ of the oranges, and stir over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture just starts to simmer. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove mixture immediately once it starts to simmer.
- Pour sugar mixture over orange juice and leave for 15 minutes.
- Strain mixture using a muslin cloth and bottle.
- Allow to cool and store in the pantry for up to 12 months. Or pop it in the fridge to enjoy immediately.
