Instructions
- Prepare a small boiling water bath canner and three half pint jars. Place three new lids in a small saucepan of water and bring to a simmer.
- Using a sharp knife, cut off the peels of the oranges. Start by removing ends and then cutting the peels of in strips, going just deep enough to cut away the peels and pith.
- Working over a bowl or large measuring cup, use a sharp paring knife to remove the sections of fruit, leaving behind the tough membrane. As you work, set aside any seeds you find. When all the fruit is removed, squeeze the membrane over the bowl to capture as much juice as possible from the fruit.
- When the fruit is all broken down, you should have approximately 4 cups. Combine the fruit in a 5 quart pot and add the sugar, lemon juice and zest, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
- Bundle up the reserved seeds in a length of cheesecloth, a spice bag, or a tea ball and place them in the pot as well.
- Set the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring regularly, until the jam thickens. Use an instant read or candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. When it reaches 220°F/105°C, it is done.
- Remove the seed bundle and funnel the jam into the prepared jars. Wipe rims, apply lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath canner for ten minutes.
- When time is up, remove the jars from the canner and let them cool on a folded kitchen towel. Once jars are cool enough to handle, check to ensure jars sealed. Properly sealed jars can be stored in a cool dark place for up to 1 year.
