A super simple recipe for the most delicious mandarin jam.
Servings: 1 large jar
Calories: 2209kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups mandarin (peeled and roughly chopped and seeded) (about 4-5 mandarins)
- ½ lemon (peeled, chopped and seeded)
- 2 cups water
- 500 grams jam setting sugar
Instructions
- Peel mandarins, removing loose pith.
- Chop mandarins roughly (breaking up segments into 4 or 5 pieces), removing any seeds. You can also remove any stray seeds later as they float to the top during boiling.
- Place chopped mandarins into saucepan and add the lemon (also peeled, chopped and seeded).
- Add water and place over heat. Bring to the boil and continue to boil uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Add the sugar and continue to boil until the mixture jellies. This should take about 15-25 minutes, depending on the fruit and temperature. When ready, the mixture will start to thicken a little, turn a pale golden colour and will "grab" just slightly to the bottom of the saucepan when you stir the mixture.
- Remember to use jam setting sugar!
- Pour hot jam into a large sterilised jar. Seal with the lid and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate and enjoy for up to one month.
