Method
Preparation
- Add a teaspoon of baking soda to water and wash the oranges in the baking soda water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Cut the oranges in half and remove the seeds using a sharp fruit knife.
- Squeeze out the juice using a citrus juicer and scoop out the pulp in a separate bowl, discarding the white pith, seeds, or transparent skin. The total should equal 500 grams (300 ml Juice + 200 grams Pulp).
- Remove the white pith inside the rind and julienne the orange rind or cut it into thin strips (60 grams).
- Mix sugar and lemon juice with the fruit mixture and set aside for 15 minutes to dissolve the sugar.
Cooking
- Cook the marmalade in a heavy-duty saucepan over low heat, stirring regularly.
- After 20 minutes, once the white foam disappears and the marmalade thickens, check the consistency by spreading a spoonful on a plate—it should be sticky.
- Allow to cool completely at room temperature and store in a sterilized glass jar with a tight lid.
Notes
Store in the refrigerator for 2–3 weeks. The marmalade can also be frozen for up to a year. Stir regularly during cooking for even results.
