Cut ends off of 2 naval or 3-4 blood oranges, cut into quarters lengthwise, remove all seeds and using an adequate amount of water to cover the oranges, bring to a boil.
Drain and repeat twice more with new water each time. Juice the remaining oranges to get about 1/4 cup of juice.
In a pan, add 4 cups of water, 1 1/4 cups of sugar and the orange slices, cook over medium high heat stirring often until the peels can be easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.
Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
