Café Orange

Pour the sugar into a wide saucepan, add one liter of water, and start heating. Stir until all the sugar dissolves, then bring to a boil.

Rinse the oranges and slice them into pieces less than one centimeter thick. Slice them in such a way that the membranes between the orange segments form a star on each slice. You can cut larger, middle pieces in half. Discard the end pieces.

Add the sliced oranges to the boiling sugar solution and simmer very gently for five minutes. Do not stir too much to prevent them from falling apart. Remove from heat and let the oranges cool and soak in the solution overnight.
