Ingredients
For the jam:
- 2.2 Pounds Organic Unwaxed Oranges *see Notes
- 3 ¾ cup sugar
You will also need...
- a few drops liquor *see Notes
- jars
- Labels
Instructions
- Wash your oranges well. Cut off ends.
- Cut in half and into thin slices.
- Place the orange slices in a pot and pour sugar over the oranges.
- Combine everything well so that the sugar melts and the fruit slices are covered with it.
- Optional: Keep to macerate overnight. This can result in a better marmalade.
- Keep your marmalade over a medium to high flame and stir occasionally. Bring to a rolling boil.
- Cook down the marmalade over low to medium heat and stir occasionally to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom.
- Reduce marmalade to the desired consistency with a hand blender.
- The marmalade is ready when the fruit skin appears translucent and cooked. Test if the marmalade is set by dropping some of it into an ice-cold plate. If the marmalade is not running, it is set. You can test setting with a thermometer too (*see post above for details). If it runs, keep it for some more time on the heat and repeat the test until it doesn't run anymore.
- Pour the preserve into clean sterilized jars up to the rim.
- Pour a few drops of liquor (vodka, rum,...) into the lid to kill the remaining bacteria. Close jam with lid tight. Turn upside down quickly to create a vacuum.
- Clean jar on the outside with sponge and label with marmalade name and date.
- Store in a cool and dry place until further use. Keep in the fridge once opened.
Notes
- Organic unwaxed Oranges are a must because you use the skin in the marmalade as well and you don't want odd unknown pesticides in your marmalade
- Use a few drops of rum/vodka and similar to drop into the cap. This is to disinfect further (to avoid mold growth in the long run)
- Marmalade serving -> ~3 Jars (8 oz/230 ml) = ~100 Teaspoons (1 Teaspoon per serving)
