Orange Marmalade is generally prepared at the time of Christmas when these are in season and shared as a gift among friends and relatives. I have also made this for Christmas and my laziness made me to post it now. I have used navel orange you could use any variety of your choice. I am sure you will love this flavourful marmalade.
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Sugar - 2 cups (same weight of sugar as the weight of your oranges after peeling)
Lemon- 1/2
- Use a peeler or knife to remove a thin layer of zest from the oranges. Slice the zest thinly and put it aside.(I used navel orange. If you use kinnow or clementine peel them and scrape the white part using a spoon or knife and proceed)
- Peel the white pith away from the oranges. Remove seeds. Chop the oranges finely and put them in a large bowl along with the zest.
- Measure out the same weight or volume of sugar as your peeled oranges, and add it to the bowl. (1 cup sugar for each cup of chopped oranges)
- In a deep vessel cook the oranges and the peel with sugar.
- Smear a little bit of marmalade onto a cold plate and check the consistency . If it’s not thick enough yet, then simmer it a little longer.
- While marmalade is simmering, prepare some clean jars by pouring boiling water over them to sterilize them.
- When marmalade is finished, ladle it into the jars. Sterilize on jars for longer shelf life.
I would have really loved to receive one of those jars! The pics are amazing, Lincy...
