- 500 grams thinly sliced orange (2 large oranges)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
- 2 ½ cups caster sugar / superfine sugar (500 grams)
- 2 cups water
Sterilise two medium jars (you can use the dishwasher and then allow to air dry).
Wash and dry oranges. You'll need about 2 large or 3 medium oranges.
Chop oranges into halves and then slice off and discard the middle pith and very ends of the orange. Remove any visible seeds, too.
Thinly slice the halves until you have 500 grams and then place into a bowl. Add water and allow to rest overnight.
The next day, pour oranges and water into a large saucepan and stir in the vanilla.
Bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring every now and then.
Take off heat, add sugar and stir before returning to heat.
Bring to the boil again and then adjust so the mixture is simmering at a medium pace, not furiously and not gently.
Allow to simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. You'll know the jam is ready when it loses its watery appearance and starts to look shiny and "grab" the bottom of the saucepan a little as you stir.
Pour into the jars and seal with a lid.
