Ingredients

• 4 medium oranges (seedless, preferably navel)
• 1 large lemon (seedless)
• 800 grams granulated sugar
• 500 ml water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the oranges and lemon thoroughly under running water to remove any wax or dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 2

Cut the oranges and lemon into quarters, leaving the peel on. Check and remove any visible seeds.

Step 3

Place the citrus quarters into a food processor. Pulse several times until the mixture is finely chopped but not pureed.

Step 4

Transfer the chopped citrus mix into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or saucepan.

Step 5

Add the granulated sugar and water to the pot, stirring to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency.

Step 8

To test if the marmalade is ready, spoon a small amount onto a chilled plate and let it cool. If it wrinkles slightly when pushed, it is done.

Step 9

Once the marmalade is ready, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Carefully ladle the marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Seal immediately with sterilized lids.

Step 11

Let the jars cool completely at room temperature before storing in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or processing in a water bath for longer shelf life.
