Orange Jam

(Portakal Receli)

Orange Jam
4 oranges, with thick skin
5 cups granulated sugar

Grate the oranges rinds with thin side of the grater and place in a large pot. Cover with water. Cook on medium heat until they are softened, for about 45 minutes. Drain and put aside. Place the sugar in a pot and melt it with a little bit of water. Cut the oranges in chunks and throw them over the melted sugar. Cook for another 45 minutes on medium heat. Afterwards, squeeze the lemon juice on top and let it cool down. Put them in jars and cover the lid.

I don't understand. Do you grate the zest from the rind and then cook both zest & rind til softened? The pic looks like the big thick chunks of the whole rind. What happened to the grated zest?

I'd love to try this if I can get it straight.
Thanks.

Hi Maloneh,
Zest (orange part of the rind) has to be grated, you are going to throw it away. Then cook the whole orange without zest but with the white part until it is softened.
