INTRODUCTION

Jam preserves - it's all about preparing delicate and perishable fruits for long-term storage, and it all started several centuries ago.

ORANGE

Citrus fruits have long been valued as part of a nutritious and tasty diet. The flavors provided by citrus are among the most preferred in the world, and it is increasingly known that citrus not only tastes good, but is also good for people.

PECTIN

Pectin is a carbohydrate found in fruits. When sugar is added, the pectin in fruit precipitates out and forms insoluble fibers. An acid, such as citric acid, aids in the process. The insoluble fibers produce a mesh-like structure that traps the fruit juice or other liquid, much like a sponge absorbs water and There are two types of pectin, liquid (usually made from apples) and dry (from citrus fruits or apples).

Ingredients

4 oranges , peeled and cut into chunks

250 g sugar Dry fruit pectinwater

procedure

Step 1: Before you begin making jelly, a large pot needs to be filled with water deep enough to cover jars. Place the jars and their lids in the water and also wash hands and knife to make all things clean and sterilized.

Step 2: chop 4 oranges , peel and remove all the fibers to prevent sour taste and pour into the blender and blend.

Step 3: After the mixture has been blended, mix in 250g of sugar. Return the mixture to a rolling boil. Boil hard, stirring constantly.

Step 4: After the mixture has boiled for a while, add pectin and remove the foam that has formed on top if necessary and continue stirring.

Step 5: Remove the jar , After the foam has been skimmed from the top of the mixture, pour the hot mixture into the sterilized jars.

conclusion

The jam took a while before coming together but with constant stirring to avoid burning the jam came together at the end and was able to scoop out into the jar and was made to cool down before covering it with the lid and it was sealed and kept in refrigerator for proper preservation.
