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.
