Easy spicy orange marmelade

 


EASY SPICY ORANGE MARMELADE 

My husband was afraid to try it because of the peels, he finally did and he loved it.  So it is officially Scott approved. 

Ingredients 

3                                                                            Oranges, quatered then thinly sliced
1 cup                                                                    Maple syrup
1 cup                                                                    Water
1 tablespoon                                                       Freshly grated ginger
3/4 teaspoon                                                       Turmeric 
1/2 teaspoon.                                                      Red pepper flakes 
A pinch of salt and a bay leaf. 

Directions 

Put everything in a sauce pan, bring to a boil then turn down the heat to simmer for an hour.  

Preheat canning jars and flat lids (2 or 3 depending of the size) in the oven at 250° F. (120°C.)

Transfer the hot marmelade to the hot jars.  Make sure there's no draft around you during this process.  I use tong or rubber gloves to put the flat lids on. Screw only slightly the band lid.  Put jars back in oven for half an hour or more.  Turn off the heat.

Again make sure there's no draft when you get them out of the oven.  Screw the band all the way and listen for the pop sound of the lid caving in (love that sound).

If some didn't pop in, store them in the fridge.  The others can be store in the pantry but keep an eye on them.  I don't know how long they stay good.  I don't think I'll let them go bad... it is so good!
