Ingredients
  

  • 4 oranges
  • 1 lemon juiced and zested
  • 4 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Slice the oranges and remove the seeds. Chop them into small pieces.
  • Transfer them to a saucepan on medium heat along with the sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest.
  • Bring it to a boil, turn down the heat and continue cooking for 40 minutes.
  • Stir in the vanilla, take off heat and let it cool before storing.

Notes

  • If you can, choose oranges that are organic and have thin skins. This will ensure the marmalade doesn't get bitter.
  • You can also reduce the quantity of sugar you're using for this recipe, and add some low calorie sweetener instead to balance out the flavor- just remember that the marmalade will have a slightly runny texture though.
  • If you want to cut down on the prep time, you can simply deseed the oranges and add them to a food processor instead of chopping them with a knife.
  • If you're worried about the slight bitterness from the Seville oranges, you can try using a different variety like Naval, Cara Cara, Blood Oranges, Tangerines or even a mix of them.
