How to Make Orange Jelly Jackie French

  1. Prepare the oranges: Wash and peel 1 kg of oranges, ensuring to remove all pith. Segment the oranges, removing any seeds.
  2. Juice the oranges: Extract the juice from the orange segments using a juicer or by hand. You should aim for approximately 750ml of juice.
  3. Combine ingredients: In a large saucepan, combine the orange juice, 1 kg of sugar, and 75g of powdered pectin.
  4. Bring to a boil: Stir the mixture constantly over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a rolling boil that cannot be stirred down.
  5. Boil for one minute: Maintain a rolling boil for exactly one minute, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove from heat: Remove the saucepan from the heat and skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.
  7. Ladle into jars: Carefully ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving approximately 1 cm of headspace.
  8. Seal the jars: Wipe the rims of the jars clean, and seal tightly with lids.
  9. Process (optional): For longer shelf life, process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. If you skip this step, ensure you store the jelly in the refrigerator and consume within a few weeks.
  10. Cool and enjoy: Allow the jars to cool completely. You should hear a satisfying "pop" as the jars seal. Once cooled, your delicious homemade orange jelly is ready to enjoy!
