What do you do with a lot of fresh oranges? You make orange jam of course. At the beginning of the year, I had some oranges that were sour and needed to use them.  So, I decided to make homemade jam.

I know winter is not your typical jam season, but I never get tired of making jam.  Jam is not just for toast, I like to use it to add flavor to buttercream and cake/cupcake recipes.  Remember those orange cupcakes? I used the jam to make the buttercream.

What is the Difference Between Orange Jam and Orange Marmalade?

The difference between orange jam and orange marmalade is: marmalade is made with the whole orange, the rind, and a lot of sugar.  While orange jam eliminates the rind, and pith and uses less sugar. They are prepared the same way, with the exception of marmalade where water is used in the recipe.

What you need to make this recipe:

• Oranges- about 5 medium peeled oranges with pith, rind, and membrane removed.
• Lemons- you will need the juice of two medium lemons.
• Sugar- I used only 2 cups of sugar, I like my jam to be less sweet.
• Saucepan
• Mason jar –I like to use BPA free canning jars such as Ball, double-check the brand to make sure.
• Nutribullet or Blender

Steps for Making Orange Jam

• Peel the oranges and remove the rind, pith (the white area), and the membrane. The pith is bitter so I chose to remove it, however, this area is filled with pectin. 
• Place the oranges in a Nutribullet or blender and pulse. 
• Pour into a medium saucepan.
• Add the sugar, lemon juice, and mix together until combined.
• Then cook for 20-25 minutes until the jam sets.  Remember to stir frequently.
• Allow the jam to cool then add to a mason jar.

 If you can wait add to a piece of toast and enjoy.
