ORANGE MARMALADE
 
**This is great to have around during cold season - it give you an extra boost of Vitamin C.  Anytime we find blood oranges on sale we grab them to make this with because the color is divine.**

1 3/4 pounds oranges, 4 to 5 medium
1 lemon, zested, finely grated and juiced
6 cups water
3 pounds plus 12 ounces sugar
EQUIPMENT:  10 8 ounce canning jars with rings and lids, funnel, tongs, ladle and 12 quart pot 

Wash oranges and lemon thoroughly.  Cut oranges into 1/7 inch slices using a mandoline.  Remove seeds as you go.  Stack orange slices together and slice into quarters.  Place oranges into 8 quart non reactive pot (stainless steel or enameled cast iron)  Add lemon zest, juice and water.  Bring to a boil, boil approximately 10 minutes.  Reduce heat and maintain rapid simmer.  Stir frequently to prevent sticking.  Cook for 40 minutes or until fruit is very soft.  While the oranges are cooking is a good time to sterilize the canning jars, lids, and other canning items. Once the oranges are soft bring mixture back to a rolling boil, check temperature with candy thermometer or deep fry thermometer.  Mixture should be 219 to 223 degrees.  Boil at this temperature until mixture reaches a dark color, generally 15 - 20 minutes.  Keep an eye on the pot to prevent boil overs.  The mixture needs to come to a soft gel consistency.  If it is runny it needs to cook more.  Once it is ready spoon into prepared jars.  Wipe rims and threads with a moist paper towel and top with lids.  Return jars to pot of boiling water (that they were sterilized in) - as with all canning be sure the jars do not touch the bottom of the pot or each other (we put an aluminum foil spacer or folded kitchen towel in the bottom of the pot if you don't have a jar rack).  Boil in jars for 10 minutes.  Remove from water with canning tongs and allow to sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours.  Once opened, store in refrigerator.  Unopened the jars will be shelf stable.
