Expert Tips
1) For an additional bold flavor, use half brown sugar and half white granulated sugar.
2) You can substitute some of the Mandarin oranges for a few lemons for a beautiful multi-citrus marmalade.
3) For a seasonal spiced marmalade with a beautiful color, use thinly sliced blood oranges.
4) You can also add in a few fresh cranberries for a tangy and tart taste.
5) Add some water to thin it out and make homemade orange marmalade popsicles.
6) To avoid bacterial growth, allow the marmalade to cool completely before placing the jars in the fridge.
7) Since you’re using the skin of the oranges, it’s advisable to wash them beforehand to remove any dirt, impurities, or wax, etc
8) Stir occasionally during the cooking to avoid scorching.
9) A cast iron dutch oven works great for making marmalade or jam of any kind because the liquid doesn’t reduce as quickly. Cover the dutch oven and allow the fruit to really cook through, then uncover and allow it to cook down to that jam consistency. Try using Meyer Cast Iron Dutch Oven and you won’t be sorry
