Wash and dry the lemon, then use a vegetable peeler to remove as thin a peel as possible, leaving no white residue. Place the peel in a saucepan along with the wine and spices, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let it steep for 2 hours. Boil 4 preserving jars (or 250ml twist-off jars) with their lids in boiling water for 3 minutes, then let it dry. Remove the spices from the wine and divide them between the jars. Stir the orange juice and gelling sugar into the wine with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3 minutes. Skim off the skims and divide them between the jars. Close the jars and place the lids on for 10 minutes. Turn them upside down and let them cool.
