Ingredients

64 servings

5 cups sweet orange segments ((about 8 medium-sized navel oranges // peeled and quartered))
1 Tbsp fresh orange zest
1 cup raw, natural cane sugar ((less if you prefer it less sweet, though it helps it thicken))
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 medium lemon, juiced
2 sprigs fresh thyme ((chopped // 2 sprigs yield ~1 Tbsp))
1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

Bring oranges, orange juice, lemon juice and sugar to a low boil in a large saucepan over medium to medium-high heat, stirring frequently to combine.
Once it reaches a low boil, reduce heat to medium low and add a pinch of salt and stir. Simmer for about 30 minutes and then add thyme and orange zest.
Continue cooking until the mixture is reduced by about a third. It should be thick and syrupy - be patient as the whole process may take up to an hour. Add a bit more sugar to help it thicken even more.
Once thickened, remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to clean jars and store in the fridge. Will keep for a couple of weeks. To store in freezer, make sure to use freezer-safe canning jars to avoid cracking.
