Why Make Your Own Orange Jam?
Homemade orange jam is not only incredibly tasty but also allows you to control the ingredients, ensuring there are no preservatives or artificial additives. The vibrant flavor of fresh oranges shines through, and you can adjust the sweetness to your preference. Plus, the satisfaction of creating something from scratch is truly rewarding!
Ingredients You Will Need
- Fresh Oranges – 6 large oranges (approximately 3-4 cups of juice and zest)
- Sugar – 2 to 3 cups (adjust based on your sweetness preference)
- Lemon Juice – 1/4 cup (adds brightness and helps with preservation)
- Water – 1/2 cup
- Pectin (optional) – If you prefer a thicker jam, you can use commercial pectin as per the instructions on the package.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Oranges:
- Wash the oranges thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax.
- Zest the oranges using a microplane or fine grater, being careful to only get the outer layer (the zest), as the white pith can be bitter.
- Cut the oranges in half and juice them, removing any seeds.
