Instructions
- Prepare 3 half pint jars and lids. Because this is a small batch, the yield might vary a little. I’ve made it once where I got three half pint jars, and another time I only got two half pints and one quarter pint.
- Trim off the tops and bottoms of the oranges and cut away the peels. Using a sharp knife, separate the orange flesh from the membranes. Make sure to work over a bowl or measuring cup, so that you can catch all the juice. Once you’ve removed all the fruit from the membranes, give them a good squeeze over your bowl to wring out the last of the juice.
- Measure out four cups of the segmented fruit and juice. Add the honey and stir until it dissolves into the fruit.
- Pour the fruit and honey mixture into a low, wide pan or skillet and place over medium high heat.
- Bring to a boil and cooking, stirring regularly, until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken.
- You know it’s done when you can pull your spatula through the cooking jam and it doesn’t immediately rush into fill the space you cleared.
- Stir in the lemon juice in the last minute or two of cooking.
- When jam is finished, remove the pan from the heat. Funnel the jam into prepared jars. Wipe rims, apply lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes.
- When time is up, remove jars from canner and place them on a folded kitchen towel to cool.
- Once jars have cooled enough to handle, check the seals. If they are good, the jam is shelf stable for up to a year. If any jars do not seal, put them in the fridge and use promptly.
Notes
- Yield will range between 2 and 3 pints. I like to prepare two half pint jars and two quarter pint jars, to account for the variability.
