SICILIAN ORANGE MARMALADE





-Ingredients:

1 kg of oranges

1,300 of sugar

1 l of water

1 lemon

Wash and cut the ends of the oranges. First cut  your oranges into quarters and then into thin strips. Put these strips in a liter of water and make them stand in water for 12 hours. After that,  put the oranges with all the water and the juice of one lemon in a pot and turn on the stove. Cooking takes about two hours and can be divided into three phases. In the first phase, you have to cook the oranges until the water boils. Boiling should last 30 minutes. In the second phase, you need to add sugar and start to stir to melt completely. With the sugar  the first boiling ends. In the third phase, boil again everything and cook for about 1 hour until it has a consistency similar to that of honey. When you finish cooking, put the jam in jars, then cork and invert these jars to create the vacuum. After you have done all this, your jam is ready to be enjoyed.     PS: During cooking, stir several times.
