- On medium, heat the mixture, randomly stirring, until you hit 220 degrees and let it sit and simmer at that temperature for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat, let cool for a couple of minutes.
- Fill jars and put lids on.
- Let sit on the counter until it reaches room temperature. Retighten lids.
- Place in the fridge overnight. Enjoy!
Notes
- Be careful not to overcook it. Using a candy thermometer will help you ensure that you don't overheat it and don't cook it for too long. If you overcook it, it will get very thick.
- Look for oranges with a thinner skin. If you use an orange that has too much pith, the marmalade may have a bitter after taste.
- While you can enjoy it right after the marmalade cools to room temperature, chilling it overnight gives it more of a chance to set and thicken.
