If the oranges are not soft enough, repeat the procedure after 12 hours.
Pour the prepared jam into jars, close and remove

Note to housewives! If you want to make orange jam even more “delicate”, then after the first cooking, beat the orange pieces with a blender until the consistency of puree. Then reduce the re-cooking time by half.

Orange jam can be prepared using several recipes. This recipe is considered the easiest, where the main ingredients are the oranges themselves.

To make regular jam from oranges alone, we will need:

1 kg of oranges;
1.5 kg sugar;
2 glasses of water;
3 tbsp. l. orange zest.

Before you start cooking, you need to thoroughly wash all the oranges, wipe, dry, peel and divide into slices. So that the seeds do not interfere with the jam when consumed, it is advisable to remove them. We also remove hard veins. After the oranges have been prepared, cut each segment into 2 parts.

To make the base of the jam, you need to boil sugar syrup. It is prepared in an enamel pan using water and sugar, boiled until the sugar dissolves and the syrup is thick.

After the syrup has been prepared, place the chopped orange slices and chopped zest into the pan. When the jam starts to boil, remove the film. Then cook for about another two hours without a lid, over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Remove the jam from the stove, cool and repeat the cooking operation two more times. As soon as it has been boiled for the third time, remove the jam from the stove, cool well and pour into pre-prepared sterilized jars and seal with lids.

You can add spices to this jam: cloves, black pepper, cinnamon or cardamom. A refined taste it will be enhanced by the addition of nuts, mainly almonds, but you can use any others.

Just before adding nuts to the mixture during cooking, they should be washed and soaked overnight in cold water, so that they become a little softer, and in the jam itself you can feel pleasant taste and additional aroma. Nuts can be finely chopped, grated on a fine grater or crushed in a blender.

First, prepare oranges, lemons and ginger root. We thoroughly wash and dry everything. Remove the zest from oranges using a vegetable peeler, the most quick way. It is most convenient to remove the zest from lemons using a regular grater. It is advisable not to remove the white pulp from oranges, since thanks to it, the jam turns out to be the thickest, but from lemons this pulp must be removed, as it is quite bitter and can ruin all the jam for you. Peel the ginger and finely grate it on the same grater.

Finely chop the oranges, zest and lemons, and if you want jam instead of jam, use a blender to chop.
