To make this easy homemade orange jam, we will start by preparing the ingredients to have them already at hand and facilitate the complete recipe process. Keep in mind that the fruit must be natural and whole, since we will use the pulp and the peel.
With everything already on the work table, the next thing you should do is peel the oranges, removing the white part very well to prevent the homemade jam from being bitter. Reserve one of the peels.
When they are all peeled, you can cut the oranges into cubes and reserve them for later.
Then, julienne the orange peel that we had reserved from one of the oranges.
Then, arrange a pot and pour the water into it along with the orange peels. Let it boil for approximately 5 minutes.
After this time, it will be the turn of the cut oranges. So add the fruit cubes and continue cooking the quick homemade orange jam.
Then, add the sugar together with the lemon juice and keep the flame on low heat so that the homemade orange jam can be made correctly.
The idea is to let the whole thing cook until the mixture reduces, stirring from time to time so that it doesn't stick.
When the preparation thickens and takes on a bright color, remove from the heat. Let it cool down and enjoy the homemade orange jam!
