Make sweet mandarin orange jam!
Yummy
At Ian's request, the recipe is:
8 mandarin oranges
1 kg white sugar
2 cups water
Clean outside of mandarins, peel, reserving skin of 4 of them. Put it all through a food processor, place in large pan, add sugar and water. Mixture should not be more than 5 cm (2 ") deep in pan.
Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolved, increase heat slightly, boil gently, uncovered, for 50 - 55 minutes. Check during last 10 mintues to ensure mixture is not burning at bottom of pan.
After 50 minutes start testing to see if jam will gel on a cold saucer. (place saucer in freezer for a few minutes, but remove pot from heat during testing).
When done remove foam from surface, pour into hot sterilized jars.
Process in hot water canner for 5 minutes (I did 10 minutes to compensate for our altitude of over 3000 feet).
Makes 5 of the little skinny jam jars.
This is supposed to be a jam, but because of the peel in it, it seems more like a sweet marmalade to me, but the recipe does say jam.

You going to keep us hanging with pictures and no recipe????
ReplyDeleteThis does look yummy.
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming to my blog a while back. I am way behind reading blogs and am slowly catching up – there was illness in the family then we went on a trip for almost a month. I see you like hockey. When I came over to the US from France I spent a month in Montana and went to some hockey games – I was fascinated. Your jam looks good but we had so many figs this year that I made about 40 jars, and I had already made some blueberry and cherry so we have too much now and since I am retired I don’t have many people to give the jam to.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a simple enough recipe. 't is the season for mandarins so maybe we'll give this a shot.
ReplyDeleteYummy - yes! I'll have to try this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this recipe. I bet I could make this using clementines -- they're pretty close to mandarins. Sounds wonderful!
