Method

  • step 1

    Boil the whole oranges in 2 litres water until very soft – it will take about 2 hrs. Pour the liquid into a preserving pan or a large saucepan.

  • step 2

    Cut the oranges into wedges, flick out the pips with the point of a knife then gently squeeze the wedges over the pan as they’ll be very juicy. Thinly slice them, then add to the pan with jam sugar. Dissolve over the heat then boil for 7-10 mins, stirring occasionally, until a little of the mixture dropped onto a chilled plate sets and wrinkles when you push your finger through. Leave to settle for 15 mins before potting into sterilised jars.

Hi Lynmichael,

You can use granulated sugar but you will need to follow a different method. Try our Ultimate seville orange marmalade recipe instead -

Well I set about doing this, this morning, encouraged by the quick and easy bit! 10 mins prep time?! I don't think so!!! it took me a lot longer to quarter my eight seville oranges, flick out said pips, then cut all of the fruit up before re adding to the fluid etc etc etc And because it took longer…

I found all the previous comments very helpful, I used 2 pints of water, covered pan, didn't have enough oranges so used half lemons, I only had half the required sugar and most of that was demerara, boiled it for an hour but 45 mins probably would have been ok. End result solid lemon flavour…

This recipe does not make clear whether you should cook the oranges covered or uncovered. I cooked covered and had to boil down the remaining liquid for over 30 minutes to get to setting point.
