2018-04-05 -- my first attempt ever:

2.1 kg oranges (6 big ones)
650 g sugar
1.2 teaspoons agar-agar

cut the unpeeled oranges very fine, max 6 x 6 mm bits of peel
boil them gently
mix the agara-agar with the sugar and add to the oranges
pour into sterilised glass jars

result: taste is absolutely perfect; moni thinks it is a bit too roughly shredded.

idea for next time: pour half the result into glasses as is, roughly cut; retain the other half, blend it (purierstab, purieren), and then finish fill the glasses with that.

2020-01-04 -- second try:

2 kg bio blood oranges from rewe
500 g sugar
1 tablespoon agar-agar

they are 12 medium sized oranges
no need to clean, peel or wash them in any way
just remove any pips that you happen to come across
cut up 7 oranges very fine, entire, with peel and everything, in 6 mm cubes
boil gently
add sugar and agar-agar
throw the remaining 5 oranges into the blender
add the blended oranges to the rest
pour into sterilised glass jars

2021-02-13 -- third:

bought 4.5 kg organic oranges, 24 medium sized oranges
i used only 20 of them
no need to clean, peel or wash them in any way
remove pips -- these had none
14 cut up very finely (4-5 mm pieces) and blended
6 more cut up very finely and added without blending
0.5 kg sugar
2 teaspoonfuls agar-agar (not heaped, leveled)
boiled briefly
pour into sterilised glass jars
