The oranges must simmer till quite tender, care being taken that they do not break. When tender drain carefully on a sieve, and let them remain twelve hours, then simmer in very weak syrup for one hour. Drain from this syrup, and simmer in richer syrup till the oranges are semi- transparent. Before the oranges are quite finished a little brandy must be stirred into the syrup.
