How To

Wash the oranges and lemon thoroughly. Using a grater, remove the zest from the lemon. With a  sharp knife, cut off the orange part of the zest of one orange and cut into strips. Place the zest in a bowl. This zest will give the marmalade a bright citrus flavor. (there are more steps to this recipe so go and get the recipe attached for the instructions)

Place the prepared oranges and lemon in a bowl and dust with sugar. Cover the bowl with a lid and leave overnight.

Transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Over the lowest heat, bring the marmalade to a boil. Leave the mixture to cool.

Pour the jam into sterilized jars with lids. Allow the jars to cool at room temperature. As they cool, you may hear a nice “pop” of the lids, indicating that they are airtight.

Store the jars in a cool, dark place and once opened, store in the refrigerator.

If you have plenty of oranges then this is one way to preserve them and make some jam or marmalade that may be included in many recipes.

1. From bakes to meats and glazing gammon or ham or pork chops, roast chicken.
2. Use them for fillings in cookies or biscuits.
3. Some cakes include jam as well.
4. Cranberry sauce is one recipe that needs oranges for the tartness of the sauce.
