Other types of oranges can be substituted to make this chunky marmalade, but it won't have the same pink hue.

Yield Makes three 8-ounce jars

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 blood oranges
4 cups water
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
3-4 cups sugar, as needed

Steps:

  • Scrub oranges. Cut in half lengthwise and slice as thinly as possible. Cut slices into eighths, reserving all juice. In a medium bowl, combine slices with water and zest, cover, and let stand at least 12 hours.
  • Transfer mixture to a large stainless-steel saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Simmer 30 minutes; add lemon juice.
  • Measure total volume of fruit and liquid and add 3/4 cup sugar for every cup. Stir to dissolve and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 30 to 60 minutes, until mixture reaches 221 degrees on a candy thermometer or falls in sheets from a spoon.
  • Pour into sterilized jars, seal, and cool.
