Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 900 ml orange juice freshly squeezed
  • 350 g household or jam sugar
  • 1 sachet pectin only if you use household sugar

Method
 

  1. Sterilise the jars and lids as described in this article.
  2. Wash the oranges.
  3. Finely grate the zest of two oranges with a fine grater or microplane into a large pot. Just use the bright orange outer layer and avoid the white pith underneath.
  4. Press the oranges until you have 900 ml of fresh juice. Put the juice in the pot to the orange zests.
  5. Add the sugar and pectin (if necessary), and mix all the ingredients with a wooden spoon.
  6. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil at medium-high heat and maintain the boil for 4 minutes
  7. Test if the marmalade thickens as described in the blog post.
  8. Ladle the hot marmalade into jars, tightly close them with lids, and put them upside down onto a kitchen towel on the counter.
    After 10 minutes, flip them back and let them cool down completely.

Notes

Orange marmalade can be stored in a cool and dry place for up to one year.
This makes for 5 jars à 250 ml.
