  1. Segment the oranges cleanly, with no pith.

  3. Toss the segments gently through it.

  4. Compress in a vacuum machine for 1 to 2 cycles. Without one, cover tightly and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.

DUKAI storage guidance

Keep it at 5°C or below. Best the day it is made and used within 2 days: the segments soften and weep after that.
