I found making the Ginger Grapefruit Marmalade fairly easy, and we had some oranges, so I thought I’d make some regular marmalade too. This marmalade is much simpler than the Ginger Grapefruit Marmalade – just 3 ingredients! You only need some oranges, sweetener, and water. You don’t even need any pectin since there’s enough in the oranges themselves! I made my peel slices about 1/4 inch thick, but comparing to some store-bought marmalade, I think 1/8 or even 1/16 inch thick slices would be better. Of course, you’re free to make the peels any size you’d like. You could even make peel bits by cutting the peel into confetti pieces instead of strips – it’s all up to you.
How do you like your orange peels in marmalade – thick, thin, or confetti?
