6 cups water
5 cups sugar
- Wash oranges, then cut off top and bottom tips

- Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered until reduced by half and thickened
- Marmalade is done when the juices are reduced enough that they don’t form a layer on top of the fruit, or when you put a tablespoon on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes, and the consistency is as thick as desired
- Transfer to jars sterilized with boiling water, and let cool before refrigerating.
