Ingredients

• 6 Seville Oranges
• 1 Navel Orange
• 10 cups Water
• 8 cups Granulated Sugar
• A Pinch Salt

Cooking Directions

1. Wash and dry your oranges.
2. Cut each orange in half around the equator.
3. Using a mesh strainer, forcefully squeeze all the juice from the halves getting only juice and leaving the seeds behind!
4. Tie up your orange seeds in the mesh and set aside.
5. Cut the orange rind into very thin slices or cubes. It is important to cut these pieces very finely.
6. In a large stock pot, add your orange slices, seed pouch, water, pinch of salt, and orange juice. Once your liquid has come to a boil, reduce it to a low simmer. Cook your marmalade until the peels become translucent, typically about 25 minutes.
7. Stir in your sugar, and bring the mixture back up to a boil. Stir occasionally.
8. You can remove and discard the seed pouch half way through cooking process. If your using a candy thermometer, cook until marmalade has reached 220F degrees. If not, wait until the marmalade is a nice jelly like consistency.
9. Remove your marmalade from the stock pot and place into jars. Keep refrigerated and enjoy your orange marmalade!
