Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole wheat bread
- 2 medium Fresh oranges
- 0.5 medium Lemon
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
Instructions
Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible to avoid bitterness.
Cut the orange peel into thin strips and chop the pulp. Be careful to discard any seeds.
Juice the lemon and set aside half the juice.
In a small saucepan, combine the orange peel, orange pulp, water, and lemon juice.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes until the peel is soft.
Stir in the sugar and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.
Remove the marmalade from the heat and let it cool slightly.
While the marmalade is cooling, toast the whole wheat bread slices in a toaster on medium heat until golden brown.
Spread the cooled orange marmalade generously over each slice of toast.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat classic toast with orange marmalade.
