1. Peel oranges and cut in ½ inch slices. 2. Place orange slices in a large pot and add 1 cup cold water for each whole orange. 3. Cover and let stand for 24 hours. 4. After 24 hours bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until tender. 5. Add sugar and lemon juice and continue to cook until transparent. 6. Ladle fruit and syrup in sterilized jars and seal. 7. NOTE: This recipe card was really old and handwritten- it did not say to process in a water bath- just 'seal'. Also- the sugar/water ratio can be adjusted weaker or stronger depending on your preference. 8. Modern bottling directions: Fill hot, sterilized jars quickly with the hot mixture, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. 9. Wipe the sealing surface of the jars with a clean paper towel, dampened with hot water, to remove any syrup or sugar crystals. 10. Place lids, screw on bands finger-tight and process jars for 10 minutes in boiling water bath. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
