This subtly spiced orange jam is a delightful addition to breakfast or an afternoon tea snack. It will tantalize your taste buds with its sunny, aromatic flavors where the sweetness of citrus subtly blends with the warm notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Perfect for brightening up your breakfast or enhancing your desserts, this modern take on a traditional recipe will transport you to the sunny Mediterranean.
Ingredients
For 10 servings:
– 5 unprocessed oranges
– Juice of one orange
– Juice of one lemon
– 1 liter of mineral water (like Volvic)
– 1 kg of granulated sugar
– 2 sticks of cinnamon
– A touch of nutmeg
Instructions
1. Begin by thoroughly washing and scrubbing the oranges. Slice them into fairly thin rounds. Place these in a large bowl along with the lemon juice, orange juice, mineral water, cinnamon sticks, and a bit of grated nutmeg. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit to macerate for 24 hours.
2. After maceration, transfer the contents into a large pot and sprinkle the sugar evenly over the top. Place the pot on the stove and bring the mixture to a boil.
3. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the jam simmer gently for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
To Finish
After cooking, it’s time to jar the jam. Use jars and lids that have been washed and boiled for a few minutes in a large pot of water. Remove them from the pot and allow them to drain upside down.
Once adequately drained, carefully fill the jars with the hot jam, seal them with the lids, and allow them to cool before storing. This spiced orange jam is ideal for serving with fresh bread, croissants, or as a sweet addition to various desserts. Enjoy the flavors of the Mediterranean with every spoonful!
