Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is only about 10 minutes.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized oranges
  • 1 lemon
  • 4 cups of water
  • 4 cups of granulated sugar

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Large pot
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Canning jars (optional)

Method

  1. Wash the oranges and lemon thoroughly and slice them thinly, removing any seeds as you go.
  2. In a large pot, combine the sliced oranges, lemon, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  3. Add the sugar to the pot and stir until it dissolves. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rapid boil, stirring occasionally.
  4. Continue cooking the marmalade for another 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens and reaches the desired consistency. To test if the marmalade is done, place a small spoonful on a plate and let it cool for a minute. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's ready.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat and let the marmalade cool for a few minutes.
  6. If you're planning on canning the marmalade, sterilize your jars and lids according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  7. Ladle the hot marmalade into the jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims clean with a damp cloth, then screw on the lids.
  8. If you're not canning the marmalade, you can transfer it to a clean jar or container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • This recipe makes about 6-7 cups of marmalade.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, you can use a food processor or immersion blender to puree the marmalade before canning or storing it.
