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.
