Two ingredients Mandarin Jam

Mandarin jam, a delightful preserve, is crafted from the vibrant and juicy mandarins blended with sugar. This homemade treat captures the sweet and tangy essence of fresh mandarins, creating a spread that is both flavorful and versatile. Perfect on toast, scones, or as a filling for pastries, mandarin jam brings a burst of citrus sunshine to any dish.

Ingredients:

• Peeled Mandarins – 450g
• Sugar – 400g

How to cook:

Peel all mandarins and remove seeds if there’s any.

Blend all mandarins into smooth consistency.

Transfer the puree into a cooking pan and add sugar into this.

Boil the mixture under medium heat stirring frequently until the mam thickens.

While jam is cooking don’t forget to sterilize bottles. For that, boil water in a separate pan and put a kitchen towel to the bottom of the pan.

Place cleaned bottles and lids in the pan and boil about 10 mins.

Once you are done with sterilizing bottles, place them upside down on a kitchen towel to get rid of excess water.

When the jam thickens, we need to check whether it has reached desired consistency. We can check the consistency by placing a drop of jam on a cold plate. When you run a finger through it if it leaves a clean trail on the dish our jam is ready.

Then we can remove it from the heat and leave it cool about 5 mins.

After that carefully pour hot jam into your sterilized jars leaving a small gap at the top.

Then wipe the rims clean, place the lids on tighten. Keep the bottles upside down about 5 mins.

Then we can turn the bottles to the correct side, cover them with a kitchen towel and store them in a dark place for about 24 hours.

Next day we can enjoy our delicious homemade mandarin jam. Once opened make sure to keep it refrigerated.
