When I was young, I could only eat canned food in a specific situation, that is, when I was sick. If you ask a sick child what she wants to eat, the answer is almost always canned fruit. If a child refuses to take medicine, as long as the adult magically takes out a can of fruit, she can swallow the bitter medicine. But I will talk about the prerequisites, while staring eagerly at opening the can, while still saying very stiffly that one spoonful of medicine and two spoonfuls of canned food will do. Although the medicine is bitter, the canned fruit is very sweet. Because of that sweet and delicious pot, not only was I not afraid of getting sick when I was young, but I even looked forward to getting sick. It’s also amazing. It seems that every time I eat all the medicine and canned fruits, my illness is basically healed.
Later, although I have eaten a variety of fresh seasonal fruits, I still miss the canned oranges when I was a child. Through the transparent glass jar, you can see the orange petals of the yellow orange orange, soaked in the sweet sugar water, people can't help but swallow. It can relieve the pain when I am sick, and each petal is wrapped with sweetness. It is the most greedy and rare delicacy in my childhood, better than any panacea. The oranges I bought at home this time are extremely acidic, and it's a pity to throw them away. It's better to make canned oranges. Let's take a look at how to make it together.

Ingredients

Canned Oranges

1. First of all, we have to prepare all the ingredients needed to make this [canned orange]: first peel the orange peel, and then split the orange into individual orange segments. If you don't like the white tangles on the oranges, you can tear off the tangles from each petal and leave only the flesh. If you feel that it is a bit troublesome to tear one by one, you can accept that there is a little bitterness in the taste, and you don't need to remove it.

2. Then use a toothpick to prick each orange petal a few times, and pick out the pit when encountering an orange petal with a pit. This step is very important to help oranges taste better.

3. 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 sweet taste, add more rock sugar, and if you like sour taste, add less rock sugar.

4. Bring to a boil on high heat to completely melt the rock sugar, then turn to low heat and cook for about 5 minutes, then turn off the heat.

5. It tastes a little bit sour when it's hot, and it tastes best when you let it cool or put it in the refrigerator overnight.

Tips:
1. You don't need to buy oranges to make canned food. You can make canned oranges that are extremely acidic at home. For example, my oranges are too sour and unpalatable. It is a pity that they are tasteless and discarded, so I just used them to make canned food, just not to waste it.
2. Be careful not to boil canned oranges in an iron pot. Acidic fruits will react chemically with iron to generate low-iron compounds, which are harmful to the human body. Try to cook in an enamel pot, casserole, or glass pot.
3. If there is no rock sugar at home, white sugar can be used instead.
4. You can put the high temperature resistant glass bottle in boiling water and then drain the water. After the canned orange is finished, put it into the glass bottle, tighten the lid and place it upside down, so that it can be well sealed and stored.
