✅ CONFITURE D'ORANGE MAISON : Ma recette facile pour réaliser votre propre confiture d'orange maison

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to make homemade orange jam, an easy and delicious way to enjoy the vibrant flavors of oranges without the preservatives found in store-bought versions. By following these simple steps, you can create a delightful spread that can be enjoyed on toast, pastries, or as a topping for desserts.

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

To make your own orange jam, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 kg of orange flesh
• Between 500 g and 1 kg of granulated sugar (adjust to your taste)
• Juice of one lemon

Ensure you select high-quality oranges for the best flavor.

Step 2: Prepare the Oranges

1. Wash the oranges thoroughly to remove any pesticides or wax.
2. Peel the oranges and remove any seeds. If you prefer to keep the seeds, they can help with natural pectin production.
3. Cut the orange flesh into small pieces to make them easier to cook and blend into the jam.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients

1. In a large pot, combine the orange pieces, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
2. Stir the mixture well to ensure the sugar is evenly distributed.

Step 4: Cook the Jam

1. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
2. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and maintain a vigorous boil. This rapid cooking helps preserve the flavors.
3. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and monitor the cooking process.

Step 5: Check for Consistency

1. After about 20-30 minutes of cooking, check the jam's consistency.
2. To do this, place a small amount of jam on a plate and let it cool for a minute. Run your finger through it; if it holds its shape, it’s ready. If not, continue cooking for a few more minutes.

Step 6: Jar the Jam

1. Once the jam reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
2. Carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a little space at the top.
3. Seal the jars tightly and allow them to cool completely at room temperature.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully made homemade orange jam. This recipe not only allows you to enjoy a delicious treat but also ensures you know exactly what goes into your food. Store the jam in a cool, dark place, and once opened, keep it in the refrigerator. Enjoy your homemade creation on toast, in desserts, or as a gift for friends and family!
