Anna's Orange Marmalade
- 4 large seedless oranges
- 2 lemons
- 8 cups sugar
- Cut the oranges and lemons in half crosswise, then into very thin half-moon slices.
- (If you have a mandoline, this will be quite fast.)
- Discard any seeds.
- Place the sliced fruit and their juices into a stainless-steel pot.
- Add 8 cups water and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar until it dissolves.
- Cover and allow to stand overnight at room temperature.
- The next day, bring the mixture back to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 2 hours.
- Turn the heat up to medium and boil gently, stirring often, for another 30 minutes.
- Skim off any foam that forms on the top.
- Cook the marmalade until it reaches 220 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
- If you want to be doubly sure it's ready, place a small amount on a plate and refrigerate it until it's cool but not cold.
- If it's firm -- neither runny nor too hard -- it's done.
- It will be a golden orange color.
- (If the marmalade is runny, continue cooking it and if it's too hard, add more water.)
- Pour the marmalade into clean, hot Mason jars; wipe the rims thoroughly with a clean damp paper towel, and seal with the lids.
- Store in the pantry for up to a year.
