Orange Preserves

Orange Preserves

 Orange jam has a fresh, sweet citrus flavor, different than marmalades in that there is no bitter peel added to this particular jam. Orange jam is ideal for spreading on toast as part of your breakfast menu, or use it for spreading on crackers as part of afternoon tea or snacks. Once your orange jam has been made, you may want to make thumb-print cookies or sandwich together a light sponge cake with a delicious layer of homemade orange jam. The recipe possibilities are endless once your orange jam has been made.Set a large pot of water with a lid on a stove burner to boil. When the water is at a full rolling boil, place your jars of jam into the water carefully keeping them upright. Ensure the water comes 2 inches over the top of the jar lids, and the water is at a full rolling boil before timing 5 full minutes. This is called processing in a hot water bath; it is a necessary step in order to seal and thus preserve your jam for a longer shelf-life.
