How to Make Mandarin Jam
- Wash 8-10 mandarins thoroughly and pat dry. Cut each mandarin in half horizontally, then cut each half in half again.
- Using your fingers, carefully remove and discard any seeds.
- Peel the mandarins, reserving the peels. (You'll only need the peels from 4 mandarins for this recipe.)
- Finely slice the reserved peels into thin slivers using a sharp knife.
- Place the mandarin pulp into a food processor and pulse for a few seconds, or until finely chopped. Do not over-process.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan (at least 5 quarts), combine the chopped pulp, mandarin rind slivers, sugar, and water.
- Ensure the mixture is no more than 5cm deep in the pan. Stir well to combine.
- Place the pan over medium heat. Stir frequently until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Cook uncovered, without stirring, for 50-55 minutes.
- During the last 10 minutes of cooking, check occasionally to ensure the jam is not sticking to the bottom of the pan. Gently stir if necessary.
- After 50 minutes, begin testing for setting point. Spoon a small amount of jam onto a chilled saucer. Let it cool for a minute. If the jam wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's ready.
- Remove any scum from the surface of the jam.
- Carefully pour the hot jam into hot, sterilized jars, leaving a small headspace.
- Seal the jars immediately. Allow to cool completely. Once cool, check the seals to ensure they are airtight.
