Orange Jam

A delicious and sweet spread that perfectly embodies the flavor of fresh oranges is homemade orange jam. Its bright, citrusy flavor, derived from the combination of orange juice and zest, goes well with a variety of breakfast and dessert dishes.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of fresh orange juice
• 
  
• 2 cups of granulated sugar
• 
  
• 1/4 cup of lemon juice
• 
  
• Zest of 2 oranges
• 
  
• 1 packet of fruit pectin
• 
  

Instructions:

Lemon juice and fresh orange juice should be combined in a big saucepan

Stir in the fruit pectin gradually until thoroughly combined

Stirring continuously, place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil

After the mixture reaches a boiling point, add the powdered sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves completely

After reducing the heat to medium, simmer the mixture for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the consistency reaches your desired thickness

Keep in mind that when it cools, it will get even thicker

Add the orange zest and cook for a further two to three minutes

After taking the saucepan off of the burner, give the jam some time to cool

Fill sterilized jars with hot jam, allowing a small space to allow for expansion at the top

To make sure the jars are properly sealed, seal them and process them in a water bath for ten minutes

Before storing the jars in a cool, dark location, let them cool completely

Savor your homemade orange jam with pancakes, toast, or as a delectable garnish for sweets!
