This orange marmalade recipe is tart, aromatic, and full of flavor. If you've never made marmalade at home before, now is the perfect time: Seville oranges will be in season and won't be available for much longer. Take advantage of the opportunity and make a delicious homemade marmalade.
One of the advantages of making it yourself – besides the satisfaction of the recipe itself – is that you can decide how thick or thin you want the peel strips to be. Spanish oranges, especially the bitter ones, are ideal for marmalade, so grab them while they're fresh, prepare your jars, and surprise your family and friends with a homemade treat.
And once you master the basic technique, you can try lemon marmalade, red orange marmalade, and many other variations.
You don't need a special jam pan for this recipe. A large pot filled only halfway after adding all the ingredients is sufficient; the marmalade needs space to boil without catching fire. Plus, since it tends to splatter during boiling, you'll avoid mess on the stovetop and the risk of burning yourself.
