How to Make this Recipe:
To begin, zest one of the oranges into a sauce pan.
Juice both oranges through a sieve into the pan.
Add in the water and sugar.
Bring it all to a gentle boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the liquid has reduced by about a third.
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature and use as you like. I store mine in some simple glass bottles to make pouring easy.
Store any unused syrup in the refrigerator. It will stay good up to a month.
Here’s a throw-back to when I first made this recipe…and a photo-bomb by my son
Orange Syrup is a great addition to your pancakes, waffles or any number of recipes. Try it on some Classic Buttermilk Pancakes.

Love the orange syrup. Can’t wait to try it. Wondering if this method would work for a lemon syrup? Any ideas?
Absolutely!
Has anyone ever tried this one with a reduced amount of sugar? Curious if it would still work with, say, half the added sugar
You can absolutely reduce the sugar!
Can this be processed for long term storage? Pressure or water bath?
I’ve honestly never thought of canning it. I couldn’t tell you either way
Can this fresh orange syrup be stored?
It will last about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
It can be stored by canning or freezing.
