    I also take a gelling sugar, it's very good. However, I finely grate the oranges. I let them macerate in lemon water for 24 hours. Then I cook them for 30 minutes without adding anything. I remove the white skins and then weigh them. Next, the cooking with sugar is very quick until a pearl is obtained... Rum, a good idea. It will be in the next jam.

    This is an ultra easy, quick, and delicious recipe. My little twist: I don’t remove anything from the fruit except for the two ends and the white center. For the 2 lemons I add for 1.4 kg of oranges, I only remove the seeds. I put EVERYTHING in large pieces into the pot; I add sugar (just regular sugar): a little less sugar than the weight of the fruit (80% sugar). At the end of the cooking, I roughly blend the mixture and pour in 30 to 50 ml of rum. I mix and immediately jar it. This results in a slightly bitter jam (like English jam). Everyone who has tasted it has assured me it’s a delight.

    Easy to make recipe with very convincing results, an excellent jam. The longest part is the removal of the membranes. The result is worth the effort.

    This recipe is very similar to the one I use (when I am in Greece!) which is probably inspired by a recipe from my idol, but, - I use 500 g of sugar for 1.2 kg of fruit and juice - I add the juice of half a lemon to better gel the sugar (sucrose) - I cook the jam in three stages: bring to a boil, cut, three times and skim if necessary - I do not add alcohol because my spouse hates the taste in the jam. That said, the base of the recipe is excellent. Thank you for your site!

    Indeed, it is easy to make and very good. For my part, I replaced the rum with the same amount of orange liqueur! Thank you for your recipe.
