- 1 liter water
- 1 kg sugar
- 1 packet pectin (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the oranges and lemon thoroughly. Peel and slice the oranges, removing seeds.
- Slice the lemon and add it with the orange peels and slices to a pot.
- Add 1 liter of water and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 1 hour, or until the fruit softens and the water reduces.
- Add sugar and pectin (if using), stir until fully dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 30 minutes, or until it reaches a thick consistency.
- Test for doneness by placing a small amount on a cold plate—if it sets, it's ready.
- Pour the marmalade into sterilized jars while hot. Seal tightly and let cool.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by reducing or increasing the sugar.
- Be sure to sterilize the jars before storing the marmalade.
