Apple Marmalade

 

1 to 2 oranges or more if you want

6 medium apples, use cooking apples or fresh apples with a tart-sweet flavour

3 tbsps. 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 to 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.
