Peel the orange, remove any pith and finely julienne the rind. Juice the orange, sieve to remove any flesh and set the juice aside. Place the rind in a small saucepan, cover with a cold water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Keep the rind and discard the liquid.

To make the syrup combine 50g of the caster sugar with 50ml water and bring to the boil stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Add the orange juice to the pan with the rind and half the liqueur (if adding). Simmer for 5 minutes until it is syrupy. Take off the heat, remove the rind from the syrup and set aside to cool and set.
