The fruit market is flooded these days with juicy and delicious Nagpur Oranges that are firm, fresh and juicy and have the just the right sweet and tangy taste. While oranges are great for juice and to be eaten, one can make an absolutely yummy orange marmalade at home, which tastes great on hot toast as topping for deserts and even spread on a hot chappatti as a last dish on your daily meal. Here's my recipe of orange marmalade....All those who have tried it, love it, hope that inspires you to take a shot at making it.
Ingredients
12 medium to large Nagpur oranges (peel and remove pulp)
2 1/2 cups sugar
Rind / peel of three oranges
Juice of 1 lemon
Procedure
Peel oranges, remove pulp and keep aside. Take rind of three oranges. Scrape off the white fibres and cut into very thin strips of 1 cm length Boil the chopped rind in water for 1 or 2 minutes and drain out the water and repeat once again. Boiling it twice will help to remove the extra bitterness. Drain out water and keep aside. In a thick bottomed pan heat the orange pulp and sugar over a medium flame for a few minutes. The sugar will desolve and along with the orange pulp will become a little water. Keep cooking on low flame stirring occasionally. After 5 - 10 minutes, add the orange rind and cook together till the mixture is of ketch-up like consistancy. Add lime juice and give the final boil and put off flame. Cover the pan with a cloth and allow it to cool for a few hours. The jam will thicken because of the sugar. Empty in a bottle and store in a refrigerator.
