Useful guidelines

To check if your marmalade is done, you can simply place a small plate into the fridge for 15 minutes and place a spoonful of marmalade onto the cold plate. If the marmalade has a sticky consistency, you know it’s done!

Directions

Simply follow these steps in order to make orange marmalade:

Step 1:

Peel the oranges using a peeler. You want to use only the orange part, so try to get as little white as possible.

Step 2:

Now slice the oranges peels into thin slivers of about 2-3 mm.

Step 3:

Place the peels into a bowl, add the juice of three oranges and fill up with water until the orange peels are completely covered.

Step 4:

Weigh the peels and the water. You’ll use half of that weight in sugar.

Step 5:

Add the peels and the water to a pot, set on the stove and let that simmer for about an hour.

Step 6:

Once you’ve simmered the peels for an hour, set the pot aside and let it soak overnight.

Step 7:

Next day, place the pot back on the fire and add the sugar.

Step 8:

Simmer for about 40 minutes on a ow heat while stirring often to avoid burning.

Step 9:

Fill the marmalade into clean glass jars and close with an airtight lid.

Step 10:

Prepare a big pot with water, bring to a boil and water-bath the closed jars for about 20 minutes to sterilize. This will help to improve the shelf-life of your marmalade.
