Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Oranges
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, in juice)
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Wash the oranges thoroughly, then slice them in half and remove any seeds. Cut the oranges into very thin slices, including the peel, and then chop the slices into smaller pieces.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped oranges, crushed pineapple (including the juice), granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Stir the mixture well to ensure the sugar is evenly distributed.
Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 5 minutes. Remove carefully (it will be hot) and stir the mixture well to prevent sticking.
Return the bowl to the microwave and cook on high for another 5 minutes. Stir again and check the consistency. The mixture should start to thicken slightly.
Microwave for an additional 5 minutes on high, keeping a close eye to ensure it doesn’t bubble over. Stir and check the consistency again. If it seems too thin, microwave for 1-2 more minutes in intervals, stirring in between.
Allow the marmalade to cool for 10-15 minutes in the bowl. As it cools, it will thicken further.
Transfer the marmalade to clean, sterilized jars and seal tightly. Let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Spread on toast, muffins, or use as a topping for desserts!
