Canned oranges
Overview
When I was a kid, I could only eat canned food in one specific situation, and that was when I was sick. Ask a sick child what she wants to eat, and nine times out of ten the answer will be canned fruit. If a child refuses to take medicine, as long as the adult magically takes out a can of canned fruit, she can swallow the medicine no matter how bitter it is. But he would talk about the prerequisites, and while eagerly staring at opening the can, he would also say very forcefully that one spoon of medicine and two spoons of can would be enough. Although the medicine is very bitter, the canned fruit is very sweet. Because of that jar of sweet and delicious food, not only was I not afraid of getting sick when I was a kid, I even looked forward to getting sick. It's also very miraculous. It seems that every time I take all the medicine and canned fruits, the disease is basically cured. Although I have eaten all kinds of fresh and seasonal fruits since then, I still miss the canned oranges of my childhood. Through the transparent glass jar, you can see the yellow and orange orange segments, soaked in the sweet sugar water, which makes people salivate. It can relieve pain when you are sick, and every petal is wrapped in sweetness. It was the most coveted and rare delicacy in my childhood, better than any panacea. The oranges my family bought this time were extremely sour, and it would be a pity to throw them away. Why not make canned oranges? Let’s take a look at how they are made?

Ingredients
Steps
-
First we need to prepare all the ingredients needed to make this [canned orange]: first peel the orange peel, then break the orange into separate orange segments. If you don't like the white tangerine veins on the orange, you can tear off the tangerine veins on each segment and leave only the pulp. If you find it a bit troublesome to tear them apart one by one, and you can accept the slightly bitter taste, you don’t need to remove them.
-
Then use a toothpick to prick each orange segment a few times, and when you encounter an orange segment with a core, pick out the core. This step is very important and helps the oranges taste better.
-
Add 150g of rock sugar, and then add 700ml of drinking water. The amount of rock sugar can be adjusted according to personal taste. If you like it sweet, add more rock sugar; if you like it sour, add less rock sugar.
-
Bring to a boil over high heat to allow the rock sugar to completely melt, then reduce to low heat and simmer for about 5 minutes and then turn off the heat.
-
It tastes a little sour when it's hot, so it tastes best when it's cool or placed in the refrigerator overnight before eating.
