Jam

Today, again something different. For some time there is some preserving sugar in my cupboard, waiting for some fruit. Looking at my fruit basket, there were some oranges... Guess what happened next ;)

All you need is:


500 g peeled oranges (about three)
250 g preserving sugar (2:1)

Take the oranges and put them into a pot. Make sure the oranges are completely peeled, so that there is nothing white on them any more. Add the preserving sugar and mix. Wait for 3-4 hours and then cook it. It should cook for several minutes only (cf. instructions on the preserving sugar packet). Then, fill the mixture into a glass you can close airtight. I had to use two glasses, a larger one and a smaller one, although the smaller one was only half full. Close the glasses immediately and put them upside down for five minutes. Then, back to normal again and let the jam cool down. Once open, store them in the fridge. 

If you like your jam rather bitter, add some grated zest from the oranges.
