Equipment
- Non-reactive saucepan
- Juicer
- Glass storage jar or bottle
- Fine mesh sieve
Ingredients
- 2 cups blood orange juice about 6-8 oranges juiced
- 1 cup sugar
Instructions
- Juice the oranges removing all pulp and seeds.
- Add the juice and sugar to a nonreactive saucepan. Gently heat until all of the sugar has dissolved and the juice is clear. Bring to a boil for 1 minute and remove from the heat. If not using as a syrup for dessert skip the next step.
- If you would like to make a syrup for a cake or other dessert continue to boil until the liquid has reduced by half. This will yield a very sweet topping. Reduce the sugar by half when making the syrup if you would like to reduce the sweetness.
- Pour through a fine mesh sieve into an airtight glass jar or bottle.
