Directions
Sunny Southern Preserved Oranges,After searching Zaar for recipes to use up or preserve a TON of oranges left over from the holidays I could not find anything that would allow me to use them all. So used the old fashioned way- digging through those index card boxes that are overflowing with clipped and copied and scribbled recipes saved over years and found this easy way to preserve all those fresh oranges in a yummy syrup. I posted the recipe in a small quantity so that you can use the calculator to adjust for larger amounts.,At what point do you add any of the optional ingredients?
