Ingredients:
- 1 navel orange
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions:
-
Select Navel Oranges: Choose Navel oranges with the thinnest peel possible, ensuring the best texture for your marmalade.
-
Adjust Quantity: If your orange is on the larger side, double the amount of water and sugar accordingly to maintain the balance of flavors.
-
Prepare Orange: Thoroughly wash the orange to remove any dirt or residues.
-
Trim Ends: Using a sharp knife, cut off both ends of the orange to create a flat surface for stability.
-
Slice Orange: Cut the orange in half, then proceed to slice each half into approximately eight sections.
-
Process Orange: Place the orange sections in a food processor and pulse until the peel is finely chopped into tiny pieces.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the processed orange, water, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
-
Boil: Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
-
Cool: Allow the marmalade to cool to room temperature before transferring it into a clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
-
Refrigerate: Store the marmalade in the refrigerator to preserve its freshness and flavor.
-
Serve: Once chilled, your homemade orange marmalade is ready to enjoy! Spread it on toast, use it as a topping for desserts, or get creative with your favorite recipes.
-
Sweetener Variation: For a lower-calorie option, consider substituting half of the sugar with Splenda or another sugar alternative. Experiment with different sweeteners to find the perfect balance for your taste preferences.
