Ingredients
  

For the Jam
  • 3 pounds Fresh Oranges Use any variety like navel or clementines for best results.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adjust based on the natural sweetness of your oranges.
  • 2 sticks Cinnamon Sticks Optional
  • 2 pieces Star Anise Optional
  • 2 whole Cloves Use sparingly as strong flavor can dominate.

Equipment

  • blender
  • saucepan
  • Canning jars
  • Water Bath Canner

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Oranges by peeling and segmenting them, removing seeds and placing them in a blender.
  2. Blend the orange segments until smooth while preserving some texture.
  3. Combine orange puree with granulated sugar and spices in a saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar.
  4. Simmer the mixture gently for 20–30 minutes, stirring regularly until thickened.
  5. Test for consistency by placing a spoonful on a plate; it should hold its shape after cooling.
  6. Jar the jam by pouring it into prepared canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace.
  7. Process the jars in a water bath canner for 10 minutes to seal them properly.
