Thoroughly wash the unwaxed oranges and then zest them using a grater
Place ALL the ingredients – including the grape juice or wine - in a heavy-based saucepan such as a Le Creuset pot.
Bring it up to a simmer with the lid on and allow to gentle cook. Make sure that you do not overcook the fruit as it will become a pulp. You want everything to retain it’s shape
This is best served warmed up, the day after it is cooked, so as to allow time for the flavours to develop.
It’s Christmassy, it’s tasty and it’s healthy!
Use a couple of mulled wine sachets instead of the spices, if you are very short of time – it will still taste lovely!
