Ingredients

Scale

2.0 to 2.3 pounds oranges (about 4 medium)
1 lemon (zest and juice)
1/3 cup water
4 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

Wash the oranges and lemon thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax.
Cut off the ends of the oranges, halve them, and slice each half into quarters. Discard seeds.
Puree the orange pieces in a food processor until finely chopped.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine pureed oranges, lemon zest, lemon juice, water, and sugar; stir well.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat to maintain a low boil for about 30-35 minutes until thickened.
To test consistency, place a spoonful on a cold plate; it should gel slightly when nudged.
Pour hot marmalade into sterilized jars and let cool before storing in the fridge or freezer.
