Homemade Orange/Grapefruit Jam image

This is a successful experiment I have done just few days ago. I like orange jam, and I wanted to make a real, natural jam, and I did it. The amount of pectin is according to Croatian standard package. I don't know how are your standards in countries you live, so it is up to you.
