500g thinly sliced sugar tangerines (the smaller the better)
200g sugar
250mL water
1 tsp vanilla

Remove oranges and add them to a clean glass jar.
Simmer remaining syrup for another 15 minutes, until it is reduced by about half.
Pour syrup over slices in the jar, and top with a large spoon of granulated sugar, mixed with 2 tsp citric acid. Allow to dissolve into the syrup and mix gently.
