Orange Marmalade Recipe

Ingredients:

- 4 large oranges

- 2 lemons

- 4 cups water

- 4 cups granulated sugar

Directions:

Prepare the Oranges: Wash the oranges and lemons thoroughly. Slice the oranges and lemons very thinly, removing any seeds.

Cook the Fruit: In a large pot, combine the sliced fruit with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 40 minutes until the fruit is soft.

Add Sugar: Stir in the sugar until fully dissolved. Continue to simmer for another 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and reaches the desired consistency.

Test for Doneness: To check if the marmalade is ready, place a small spoonful on a cold plate. If it wrinkles slightly when pushed with your finger, it's done.

Jar the Marmalade: Pour the hot marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving a little space at the top. Seal the jars and let them cool completely.
