Ina Garten Orange Marmalade Recipe
Ina Garten Orange Marmalade Recipe is bright, sweet and slightly bitter in the best way. It feels warm and comforting, like a homemade gift.
Ingredients
- 4 large seedless oranges thinly sliced
- 2 cups water
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
Prepare the Oranges
- Wash oranges well. Slice them thinly, including peel. Remove seeds carefully to avoid bitterness.
Chop the Slices
- Cut orange slices into small strips. Keep pieces even for better texture.
Add to Pot
- Place orange pieces into a large pot. Add water and lemon juice.
Bring to Boil
- Heat the pot on medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Simmer Slowly
- Lower heat and simmer for thirty minutes. Stir often to prevent sticking.
Add Sugar
- Add sugar to the pot. Stir until fully dissolved.
Cook Until Thick
- Cook for another thirty minutes. Stir often until mixture thickens nicely.
Test the Marmalade
- Place a spoon on a cold plate. If it sets, it is ready.
Fill the Jars
- Carefully pour marmalade into clean jars. Seal tightly while hot.
Cool and Rest
- Let jars cool fully. Marmalade thickens more as it cools.
Notes
- Use fresh, thin-skinned oranges for best flavor.
- Slice oranges evenly for good texture.
- Stir often to avoid burning.
- Use a heavy pot to control heat better.
- Let marmalade rest overnight for best set.
