Use a peeler to peel just the orange part of the skin from one orange, not the white part.
Juice enough oranges to reach one cup of strained orange juice.
Add the peel, one cup of orange juice and the sugar to a large heavy-based nonreactive saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture slowly to a boil, while stirring, to dissolve the sugar. Let it boil just until the sugar is dissolved and it is clear.
Skip to the last step if it's to be used in drinks, dressings, for cakes or as ice cubes. If you'd like to thicken it into a dessert syrup, continue boiling until it has reduced to only 1 cup.
Remove from heat. Strain, then let the syrup cool, then decant into preserving jars or bottles and store in the fridge.
