Instructions

Thoroughly wash the oranges, then peel them and remove any seeds.
Cut the peels into thin slices for zest and blend the orange segments until smooth to make about 4½ cups of puree.
In a large pot, combine the orange puree, sugar, orange zest, and lemon juice. Stir well.
Cook over medium heat until boiling; then reduce heat and simmer for about 60 minutes until thickened.
Test for setting point using a chilled plate; if it holds shape when cooled, pour into sterilized jars while hot.
Seal tightly and cool at room temperature before refrigerating or storing.
