"Quick Look at the Recipe

• Recipe Name: Low-Sugar Orange Marmalade
• Recipe Type: Marmalade
• Canning Method: Waterbath Canning
• Prep/Cook Time: About 1 hour
• Canning Time: 10 Minutes
• Yield: 10 to 12 half-pint jars
• Jar Sizes: Half Pint
• Headspace: 1/4 inch
• Ingredients Overview: Oranges, lemons, sugar, water, low-sugar pectin, and a small amount of baking soda
• Safe Canning Recipe Source: Sure Jel Recipe Card
• Difficulty: Moderate. This one is much quicker than a traditional long-cooked marmalade, but it still takes a bit of care to prep the citrus and cook the peel properly for the best texture.
• Similar Recipes: The process is similar to other low sugar jams and jellies, like low sugar strawberry jam. It’s pretty different than classic orange marmalade and traditional lemon marmalade, which use a traditional three day process and a lot of sugar to achieve a set.

Orange marmalade uses the fruit of the orange and the outside rind, creating a rich orange flavor for this jam.

A few lemons are also added, which helps balance out the orange flavor.  Trust me, you won’t taste “lemon” in this recipe, but you’ll be glad they’re there."

"The recipe actually comes right off of the label inside the box of Sure Jel Low Sugar Pectin, but you can use other types of low-sugar pectin as well.

There are other pectin alternatives, such as Pomona’s Universal Pectin for low-sugar recipes. The steps for adding ingredients using other pectin brands may vary, so if you are using alternate pectin, follow the instructions in the package for the best results."
