This is one of the easiest and quickest jam recipes. I don’t like bitter marmalade and this one has a nice delicate flavour. You can cut the oranges into large chunks or fine pieces to suit your preference. There’s no need to add pectin, as apples are high in pectin so this jam will set very easily. You can make this jam on the stovetop or you can use the microwave if you want to avoid hot jam spitting at you or burning on the bottom of the pot.
1-2 oranges [or more if you want]
6 medium apples [use cooking apples or fresh apples with a tart-sweet flavour]
3 Tbsp. lemon juice
5 cups sugar
2 cups liquid [water, or apple juice, or orange juice]
Chop up oranges into fairly small pieces [removing any pits]
Peel and core apples and chop or slice them
Combine oranges, apples, lemon juice, and liquid.
On stove top:
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until apples are tender [about 10 minutes]. Add sugar and bring to a full boil, stirring constantly. Continue cooking until mixture becomes thickened and clear and jam stage is reached. Remove from heat, skim off foam on surface, ladle jam into hot sterile jars and seal.
In microwave:
Cook covered on high for 15-20 minutes or until apples are tender. Add sugar, stir in well and cook uncovered on high for about 30-40 min or until jam stage is reached [mixture becomes thickened and clear and sheets of a cool spoon]. Ladle jam into hot sterile jars and seal or let jam cool and put into freezer containers and freeze.
