How to Make Easy Orange Marmalade

  1. Select 2 medium navel oranges with thin peels.
  2. Wash the oranges thoroughly.
  3. Cut off both ends of each orange.
  4. Cut each orange in half, then cut each half into 8 segments.
  5. Place the orange segments in a food processor and pulse until the peel is finely minced (but not completely pureed).
  6. In a medium saucepan, combine the processed oranges, 1 cup water, and 1 cup sugar (or ½ cup sugar + ½ cup Splenda).
  7. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  8. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  9. Remove from heat and let the marmalade cool slightly.
  10. Skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.
  11. Ladle the marmalade into a sterilized ½-pint (or larger) glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  12. Leave ½ inch of headspace at the top of the jar.
  13. Seal the jar tightly.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the marmalade to set completely. It will thicken as it cools.
  15. Enjoy your homemade marmalade on toast, scones, or in your favorite recipes!
