Ingredients:
1 kg (2 lb) oranges
1 kg (2 lb) lemons
1,4 kg (3 lb) sugar

Preparation:

1. With a vegetable peeler, pare bright color peel from one orange and the lemon; finely chop the peel and set aside.
2. Peel the oranges and lemons, removing most of the thin outer membrane from the fruit, as well as the white portion of the peel. Slice lemons and oranges into 1/2-inch pieces.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine the oranges, lemons and sugar over medium heat, and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add chopped peel.
4. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a good simmer, and cook until zest strips are fairly tender. Skim if necessary.
5. Pour into warm, dry jars. Seal with lids immediately.
