Here's how to preserve oranges by canning, based on provided information:

  1. Preparation: Pack orange pieces into containers.
  2. Syrup: Cover the fruit with a cold, heavy syrup. This syrup should be 40% sugar and can be made with excess fruit juice or water (See Table 2 in the Canning Oranges section).
  3. Submerge: Ensure the orange pieces are fully submerged in the syrup. You can use a small piece of crumpled waxed paper on top of the fruit in each container to keep them down.

By following these steps, you can effectively preserve oranges for later use.
