Step 1
Wash the oranges, making sure to remove any wax and dirt.
Slice off the tops and bottoms of the oranges with a paring knife. Cut each orange into four pieces.

Step 2
Weigh the oranges, then measure 25% of the oranges' weight in sugar. (For example, for 1000 grams of oranges, weigh 250 grams of sugar.)
Toss the oranges and sugar together in a stainless-steel bowl. Add to a vacuum bag and vacuum seal at a minimum setting of 98% compression.

Step 3
Cook sous vide at 80 degrees C for 14 hours.

Step 4
Once cooked, empty the oranges into a Vitamix Vita-Prep.

Step 5
Purée until smooth with the canola oil. Reserve until needed in the cooler.
Step 6
You can also add 2 pounds of butter to the purée and process it in a food processor to make delicious orange butter.
