1 Pan

Ingredients

8 mandarin oranges
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water

Instructions

Peel the Orange Skin:
Start by peeling the skin off all 8 mandarin oranges. Ensure there are no seeds in the oranges.
Chop the Oranges: Chop the peeled oranges into small pieces for easier cooking and mashing.

Cook the Oranges:

Take a pan and add the chopped oranges.
Add 1 cup of sugar to the pan and mix well. You’ll notice the sugar starting to melt as it combines with the fruit.

Add Water:

Pour in 1/4 cup of water and mix thoroughly.

Mash the Oranges:

Use a spoon or masher to mash the oranges while they cook. This helps create a smooth consistency for the jam.

Cook on Low Flame:

Keep the gas flame low and cook the mixture for about 10 minutes. You’ll see the jam’s color start to change, turning a rich orange hue.

Check the Consistency:

Test the sugar syrup by touching it. It should feel sticky, indicating that your orange jam is ready.

Cool and Store:

Let the jam cool down completely.
Transfer it to an airtight bottle. Avoid refrigerating the jam; instead, store it at room temperature
consume it within three months.
