Orange Preserve

The object

Bitter oranges from the trees that line the streets of Seville — the fruit most of the world knows only as marmalade. We use the whole fruit, peel and flesh, and cook it until the bitterness softens into perfume. No sugar; the fruit itself carries the sweetness you need.

Seville, Andalusia.

Whole fruit — peel and flesh — cooked until the bitterness softens.
