Ingredients
Scale
- 2.0 to 2.3 pounds oranges (about 4 medium)
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)

Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the oranges and lemon under running water.
- Cut off the ends of the oranges and halve each orange, then cut into smaller pieces while discarding any seeds.
- Puree the orange pieces in a food processor until finely minced.
- Transfer the puree to a large saucepan; add lemon zest and juice, water, and sugar, stirring well.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a low boil for about 30-35 minutes until thickened.
