Orange Peel Marmalade

Step 1

First, rinse the oranges well and peel them. Then remove the white piths with a sharp knife, then cut into thin strips. do your best to completely separate the white parts, because these white pith will make marmalade bitter.

Step 2

After cutting the orange rind, slice off the top and bottom of the orange with a sharp knife. Separate the white pith completely from the orange itself. Run the knife right alongside the membranes and just cut out the segments. Do this all the way around the orange and cut out all the segments.

Step 3

Place orange peels in a saucepan and cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. After a few minutes strain in a colander and rinse with cold water. Then repeat these steps two more times. If it still tastes bitter, boil it once or twice.

Step 3

Pour the sugar and 2 cups of water and lemon juice into the pot and put it on the heat until it boils and the sugar dissolves, then add soft orange segments and orange peels into the juice and let the marmalade boil and thicken with a gentle heat. Cook the marmalade for about 40 minutes. Then test marmalade, if it was set remove from heat.

Step 4

Pour the orange peel marmalade into a sealed container and place it in the refrigerator to cool.
