Ingredients
Scale
- 6–8 medium-sized tangerines
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash the tangerines thoroughly and slice them in half. Juice the fruit into a bowl, saving the rinds.
- Finely chop the reserved rinds for flavor infusion without overpowering the marmalade.
- In a large pot, mix tangerine juice, chopped rinds, sugar, and water. Stir gently over medium heat until the sugar dissolves (about 5 minutes).
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes until thickened. The marmalade is ready when you can draw a spoon through it and see the bottom of the pot briefly.
- Stir in fresh lemon juice and continue to simmer for another five minutes to blend flavors.
- Pour hot marmalade into sterilized jars, seal tightly, and allow cooling at room temperature before storage.
