At a young age I learned that a homemade gift was the best one to give. I try and make something for everyone for Christmas presents, and this year I’ve really tried to make something other than cookies. While in California on a travel story trip, the Dishing crew had a chance to try blood orange marmalade from Ten Inverness Way. I absolutely love blood orange anything and thought this would be the perfect homemade gift for everyone this holiday season. This recipe does take time so if you have a holiday party on the weekend, make it the weekend before. Grab some mason jars and ribbon and you’ve got a perfect delicious gift!
Ingredients
- 5 pounds blood oranges
- 5 pounds sugar
- 5 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Pierce the oranges with a fork and soak in water for three days. Change the water daily. After 3 days, drain the oranges and mince them very small (including flesh and peel). Put oranges with sugar and lemon juice into a pot and cook over medium heat until the sugar is melted. Let the mixture sit overnight, covered. The next day, bring the marmalade to 220 F. Simmer for a few minutes, then put it into jars. Refrigerate.
