Delicious Homemade Orange Jam Recipe for Fresh Breakfast Bliss

Ingredients

• Fresh oranges: 6 large, preferably organic
• Granulated sugar: 4 cups, adjust based on sweetness preference
• Water: 1 cup
• Fresh lemon juice: 1/4 cup
• Pectin: 1 package (1.75 oz)

Instructions

1. Start by thoroughly washing the oranges under cool running water. Cut each orange in half and juice them, reserving the juice in a bowl. Make sure to remove any seeds and set the juice aside.
2. Next, take the orange peels and cut them into thin strips.
3. In a large pot, combine the orange juice, the thin orange strips, the water, and the lemon juice. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat.
4. Once boiling, add the granulated sugar all at once, stirring continuously until it's fully dissolved.
5. After reaching a rolling boil, add the pectin and stir well. Keep boiling for an additional 5-10 minutes.
6. Once the desired thickness is achieved, remove the pot from heat. Skim off any foam on the surface.
7. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
8. Seal the jars with lids and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
