If necessary, use a weight to keep the oranges submerged for 1 1/2 hours or until they are soft

Drain

Peel the oranges and lime, removing the fine skin

Cut into thin strips

Remove the white part of the oranges using a serrated knife. Reserve

Cut the oranges into fine slices, but with care so they don't break apart

Remove the seeds and reserve

Tie up the orange peel removed from the oranges, along with the seeds, in a piece of cloth

Place the oranges and lime (also cut) in a large bowl

Add the sugar, water, and seed bag

Cover and let it rest for one day to the next

The next day, place it in a pot and start heating over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves

Increase the heat and let it boil until it reaches the consistency of gelée

Squeeze the seed bag against the sides of the pot to extract well and then discard

Remove, afterwards, the foam that forms on the surface and place the gelée in hot, dry, and sterilized jars
