Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium oranges (seedless, preferably navel)
- 1 large lemon (seedless)
- 800 grams granulated sugar
- 500 ml water
Instructions
Wash the oranges and lemon thoroughly under running water to remove any wax or dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the oranges and lemon into quarters, leaving the peel on. Check and remove any visible seeds.
Place the citrus quarters into a food processor. Pulse several times until the mixture is finely chopped but not pureed.
Transfer the chopped citrus mix into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or saucepan.
Add the granulated sugar and water to the pot, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency.
To test if the marmalade is ready, spoon a small amount onto a chilled plate and let it cool. If it wrinkles slightly when pushed, it is done.
Once the marmalade is ready, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
Carefully ladle the marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Seal immediately with sterilized lids.
Let the jars cool completely at room temperature before storing in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or processing in a water bath for longer shelf life.
