Description
This Easy Orange Marmalade Recipe uses mandarin oranges to deliver a beautiful bright orange color in the marmalade. The marmalade takes less than 30 minutes to make for a delicious fresh spread for your toast. The marmalade has just the right amount of sweetness to balance with the citrus flavors in the mandarin oranges.
Ingredients
- 4 small seedless mandarin oranges, peeled (or remove the seeds)
- Peel from 1/2 mandarin orange, finely chopped
- Juice from 1/2 of a lemon
- 1/2 cup water
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
1. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the rind off of one mandarin orange (you don’t want the bitter white part of the rind, hence why you are using the vegetable peeler). Finely chop ½ of the peel. Discard the rest.
2. Using your hands or an orange peeler, peel the rind off of all of the oranges. You only want to reserve the fruit inside. Break the mandarin orange slices apart.
3. In a medium saucepan, add mandarin orange slices, ½ finely chopped mandarin orange peel, lemon juice, water and sugar.
4. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently for 20 minutes, or until the mixture is thickened.
5. Spoon the mixture into clean jars or containers with lids. Seal with the lid, then allow to cool to room temperature. Once cool, place and store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
I love pairing this easy orange marmalade with my English muffin bread. The English muffin bread is foolproof and takes roughly an hour to make from start to finish. It makes for a delicious breakfast to start your day.
You can store this orange marmalade in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
