Ingredients:

  • 4 large oranges
  • 1 lemon

Cut the oranges and lemon into thin rounds, making sure to take out any seeds

Put the water, lemon, and sliced oranges in a big pot

After bringing the mixture to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cook it for approximately forty-five minutes, or until the fruit is tender and half of the liquid has been reduced

When the granulated sugar is added to the pot, stir it until it dissolves completely
