Orange and Lemon Marmalade
4 large oranges
2 medium sized lemons
5 C sugar
Wash fruit, cut off any blemishes and remove seeds, leave peel on. Cut fruit finely in the food processor. Pour into a large pot, stir in sugar using a long handled wooden spoon. Bring to a boil over high heat, once it boils lower heat to medium high. Cook until it thickens, this process will take approximately 20 minutes. Stir occasionally, be careful as the jam will splatter. That's why it is important to use a large pot and a long handled wooden spoon. Spoon into jars, wipe edges clean, and screw on tops. As the jars seal, you will hear the lids pop indicating the jar is sealed. Once cooled, refrigerate if not using right away. It will keep in the fridge for a long time, I put my jams in the spare fridge, and they keep well for a number of months. Yield: Five jars. Jam is always a nice little gift to give someone for Christmas.
