Ingredients

  • 4 Pams Oranges
  • 5 Pams Bay Leaves
  • 6 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 cup Pams Soft Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp Pams Vanilla Essence
  • 2 star anise

Method

  1. Zest the oranges and cut in half. Add the orange halves and their zest to a large pot, along with the bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, brown sugar, vanilla essence and star anise. Pour over 1 and a 1/2 litres of water.
  2. Bring the mixture to the boil before turning down to medium heat. Let the syrup simmer and reduce by half - about 30-40 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
  3. Strain the cooled syrup into a large jug to remove the aromatics, squeezing out all the excess juice from the oranges.
  4. Pour into sterilised bottles or jars before sealing.
