6 medium sized oranges
300g granulated sugar

Cook for an hour, checking the syrup level occasionally. Allow to cool. Once caremelised, the orange peel should be soft. Carefully remove to a plate and set aside.

4- Whip the cream into stiff peaks and refrigerate.
5- into a saucepan, add the zest and juice of 2 oranges, plus 80g of sugar. Bring to the boil and reduce by half.
6- In a large bowl, pour cold water and soak the 4 leaves of gelatine. remove the gelatine and dissolve in the orange reduction. Mix well and add the juice from the 2 remaining oranges.
7- Refigerate unitl the juice thickens. Add the cream.
8- Pour the mixture into the mould and refrigerate until 2 hours before serving.
9- Turn out the mould, onto a serving plate. To make this easier, it is best to dunk the mould in hot water.
