Fragrant orange jam will be a great addition to your breakfast or afternoon snack. Read on to find out how to make this dessert!
Oranges can be bought in central Russia at almost any time of the year. But even ripe juicy oranges can never be compared with the taste of fragrant and warming orange jam. In the cold winter season, the presence of orange jam at home is only welcome!
Cooking orange jam is quite long and consists of the following steps:
- Soaking oranges in water for 1-2 days
- Boiling oranges in water
- Depitting, sometimes peeling
- Cooking oranges in sugar
- Distribution of jam in jars
Orange jam is prepared with any fillers: ginger, rhubarb, lemon, peaches, melon.
Orange jam in a slow cooker, bread machine, microwave?
Progress does not stand still, so it has become fashionable to cook food not “the old fashioned way” on the stove, but in bread machines, microwaves and multicookers. Sometimes double boilers and pressure cookers join this list, but about them another time.
Let's analyze in detail the recipe for making orange jam in a slow cooker.
Products:
- oranges - 3 kg
- granulated sugar - 3 kg (less possible)
- water - a glass or 200 ml
- lemon or lime (juice) - 100 ml
Cooking:
- Peel oranges from the outside of the peel, and from the inside of white films
- Finely chopped peeled oranges
- Combine sugar, lime or lemon juice and oranges. Leave 2 hours
- Prepare jars (wash and sterilize)
- Pour some of the jam into the multicooker bowl. The whole mass will not fit in you, you will have to cook in parts
- Turn on the "steaming" mode and cook for 40 minutes
- If the oranges are not soft enough, repeat the procedure after 12 hours
- Pour the finished jam into jars, close and remove
Housewives take note! If you want to make orange jam even more “tender”, then after the first cooking, beat the orange pieces with a blender until a puree consistency. Then cut the re-cooking time in half.
If the mutivarka is more or less suitable for making jam, then how to cook jam in a bread machine?!
Recipe for orange jam in a bread machine:
Products:
- oranges - 1 kg
- granulated sugar - 1 kg
- lemon (juice) - 100 ml
Cooking:
- Orange jam is prepared in a bread machine in the same way as in a slow cooker: oranges are prepared, mixed with sugar and juice
- Next, the mass is laid out in a bread machine and the “jam” or “jam” mode is set.
- Then the finished jam is poured into sterilized jars.
Even in the microwave, you can make amazingly delicious orange jam!
Products:
- oranges - 1 kg
- granulated sugar - 700 g
- lemon or lime juice - 100 ml (or 50 ml if lime)
Cooking:
- Rinse oranges very well from dirt, soak in boiling water for half an hour. So bitterness will go away
- Peel off the zest from oranges, then peel without white films
- Peel orange slices from films and seeds, finely chop
- Next, you can use a blender to grind oranges, or leave it as it is and skip this step.
- Combine the zest, oranges, half the sugar, lemon or lime juice and peels, mix. Send for 15 minutes in the microwave at maximum power (use a glass form for microwaves!)
- Take out the form with jam, mix. Add the remaining sugar, mix and microwave again for 15 minutes
- Pour jam into prepared sterilized jars.
Interesting! Cooking orange jam can be much easier! It is not necessary to separate the zest from the skin. This step, as well as adding the crusts to the jam, can be omitted.

Foreword
A detailed description of all the main ways to prepare an orange dessert. Recommendations for recipes with the addition of other fruits: berries, fruits, citrus fruits and vegetables.
To prepare this delicacy, purchase only high-quality fruits, preferably sweeter. You should not take crumpled fruits, especially when preparing a dessert for the winter. Of these, most likely, you will get a tasteless jam with a nondescript color, which, moreover, will probably not be stored for long. It is better to check the quality and taste of oranges at the outlet immediately. Do not rely only on the appearance of the fruit. Gotta try them. At a minimum, oranges should not be bitter inside. And by the taste of oranges it will be possible to judge how much sugar is needed for jam.
Oranges for making jam
Before use, be sure to wash all citrus fruits thoroughly, preferably with soap. Otherwise, it is unlikely that it will be possible to completely remove the fat-like preservative from their peel. Then dry the oranges with a towel. If it is decided to cook jam without peel, then we clean it. But you should not throw away the peels. Then it will be possible to remove the zest from them, which you suddenly want to add during the next cooking of orange jam for the winter. It will give the dessert an extraordinary aroma and piquant astringency. Or from the most dried peel, when a lot of it is collected, you can also cook quite tasty and appetizing jam (before cooking the peel, you need to soak for 30 minutes in water, and then cut into thin slices).
Then we cut the orange in an arbitrary way. The smaller, the more homogeneous the jam will turn out, and it will cook less in time. If the orange is peeled, then it is enough to divide it into slices. But often it is then cut even smaller, as in the photo. All bones must be removed. With them, an orange delicacy will be bitter. If according to the recipe, in addition to oranges, other fruits are used, then they also need to be prepared - washed and peeled. But it will already be seasonal harvesting for the winter. After all, fruits, berries and vegetables are most available in summer and autumn. You can add spices such as cloves, cinnamon, cardamom to the jam.
The jam cooked from oranges, like any other, is poured into thoroughly washed and then sterilized jars, which we cork with lids that have undergone the same preliminary preparation. If orange jam is prepared in a slow cooker, then it is advisable (and when the “five-minute” is mandatory) to package it while still hot. Especially if it is supposed to be stored for a long time when it is harvested for the winter. In all other cases, the dessert can first be allowed to cool, and then poured.
These recipes use only oranges, sugar and water as ingredients. Moreover, the fruits must be cleaned, and not only from the peel, but also from the white skin and veins under it. From oranges prepared in this way according to classic recipes, jam is obtained that is very similar to honey - an almost homogeneous tender mass that has the same viscous consistency and amber color. The differences between different classic recipes are only in a small difference in the ratios of the ingredients used and the method of obtaining syrup before cooking jam.
Traditional orange jam
Or we cook it from water and sugar, and then fill it with oranges. Or we fill the fruits with sugar and fill them with water, and then leave them to stand so that they secrete juice. It mixes with water and sugar to form a syrup. And if you use high-quality ingredients and do not deviate much from the basic rules for their preparation and cooking, then according to any classic recipe, you can only make good orange jam with an excellent taste and wonderful aroma of this citrus. Just depending on the specific recipe and possible improvisations during cooking, the dessert will turn out to be thicker or thinner, sweeter or sourer.
The easiest classic recipe. You will need:
- oranges - 2 kg;
- sugar - 1 kg;
- filtered or settled water - 0.5 l.
So, we divide the carefully peeled fruits into slices, from which we remove the seeds. Then, in a bowl for cooking jam, you need to prepare a syrup. To do this, pour water into it, pour sugar, heat this mixture to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Then we throw slices into the resulting syrup (whole or cut in half or smaller). Immediately after that, reduce the fire to a small one.
We heat the resulting mixture to a boil, after which we cook it for 2-3 minutes. All the time the jam is on the stove, it must be stirred, and after boiling almost continuously. Then remove the jam from the stove and leave to cool. It is better to let it cool completely, but if someone is in a hurry, then you can devote only 2 hours to this process. Then again put the jam on a small fire. In general, we repeat the same operations (heating, cooking and cooling). You need to do 2-3 more repetitions. Then we make the final cooking, during which, after boiling, boil the jam to the desired consistency (thickness).
Of course, jam only from oranges in itself is very tasty and fragrant. But you can add notes of other fruits to it. From this, it certainly will not lose anything, but someone will even like it more. Without delving into a little useful enumeration of all recipes, we can only indicate the recommended ratios in the jam of the most commonly used additional ingredients in relation to oranges (per 1 kg of this citrus). Lemons are added from 1/4 pcs. up to 0.8 kg. Accordingly, they take sugar. Tangerines are added in a ratio of 1: 1 (less or more can be) and usually a little lemon is also used with them - 1/2–1 pc. Gooseberries and other berries are usually added in a ratio of 1:1.
Orange and tangerine jam
Apricots are usually taken more than oranges - 2 kg per 0.5 kg. Apples or pears can be taken as equal in weight to oranges, or less. It is advisable to add a little lemon to them. These are generally win-win compositions - what, what are pears with this citrus. Peaches are also taken more than oranges themselves - about 2 times. Together with them, it is recommended to use a little lemon juice or this citrus itself. Zucchini take: 1 large per 1 kg of oranges. Carrots are added along with lemon. Usually they are taken at the rate of 1 kg of vegetable and 4 pcs. lemons per 1 kg of oranges.
When preparing such assorted dishes, one should not be afraid to experiment, and one's own experience and intuition will prompt the most correct proportions. The main thing is that these combinations of products have already been tested in practice and have given excellent results. It is necessary to cook assorted in the same way as jam according to the classic recipe - in several stages.
The peel of an orange also contains many different vitamins, so jam with it will be even more useful. But admirers of this citrus and desserts from it appreciate such recipes for something completely different. With the peel, orange jam turns out to be slightly tart-bitter, which gives its taste a special unique piquancy. In addition, the dessert will be much more flavorful.
Making orange jam
True, to prepare such a jam, you will have to spend much more time than to cook a dessert without a peel. After all, it will have to be cooked in several stages until the latter becomes soft. There is, however, one way to speed up the cooking process somewhat. Even before cutting into pieces, oranges are blanched whole, as shown in the photo, and some home cooks even cook until soft, and then cool. But most housewives do not favor these methods and make jam with peel in the same way as in classic recipes, while increasing the number of heating and cooling cycles for the dessert.
Blanching option. You will need:
- oranges - 1 kg;
- filtered or settled water - 0.7 l;
- sugar - 1.5 kg.
Blanch the washed fruits whole in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Then we take them out, let them cool down by themselves and then cut them into circles or slices, while removing the bones. Next, cook orange jam, as in the classic recipe above: in the prepared syrup and in several steps.
Even if it is decided to make jam from oranges without peel, it is still recommended to add zest to it. With it, the dessert will turn out to be as fragrant as from unpeeled fruits. And the degree of light spicy bitter astringency of the taste of jam can be adjusted by yourself by adding a little more or less zest to it. In addition, excessive bitterness can be removed by soaking whole oranges overnight in cold water or steaming only the zest for a few minutes in boiling water. At the same time, it will no longer take so long to cook an orange delicacy as from fruits in a peel.
And with the addition of zest, you can make jam according to any recipe, including when boiling oranges with other ingredients. Just do not confuse the zest with the peel. It represents only the topmost layer of the latter painted. The easiest way to prepare the zest for cooking is in the following ways. We remove it from the fruit on a coarse grater, as shown in the photo. This is the fastest way. Or cut with a regular or special knife for vegetables, and then chop with a blender (you can use a meat grinder).
The optimal amount of zest is 2-3 tablespoons per 1 kg of fruit.
You can add zest to jam at any stage of its preparation. And when they just started to boil it, and during any subsequent stage of cooking, and during the last boil. In the latter version, the jam will turn out to be much more aromatic than in the first. True, there is a small chance that when the dessert is ready, the zest is not yet fully boiled.
Ginger not only gives the dishes to which it is added a specific pleasant aftertaste and aroma, but also makes them healthier. The substances and vitamins contained in this seasoning contribute to the normalization of the work of a number of organs and many physiological processes of the body. It is most useful to use raw ginger root, and not a product of its processing in the form of a powder. If you do not attach importance to the usefulness of ginger, then the taste of jam with it, after all, is not for everybody. Therefore, you need to be careful with this seasoning. You can overdo it so much that the taste and aroma of ginger will almost completely drown out the orange.
Ginger for jam
Lovers of this seasoning and supporters of a healthy diet can add it to orange jam prepared according to any recipe, including with other ingredients. The accentuated flavor and aroma of ginger in the dessert is achieved with its amount of 200–300 g of root per 1 kg of fruits used in the recipe. If it is necessary to make jam with taste and smell, in which notes of cooked fruits will prevail, then seasonings should be added less. Before using as an ingredient, the root must be peeled, and then chopped with a meat grinder (blender) or grated on a fine grater. Add the prepared ginger to the fruits just before they start cooking. Then we cook jam, according to the chosen recipe.
Jam made in a slow cooker
Orange jam in a slow cooker according to the classic recipe, but with citric acid. You will need:
- oranges - 1 kg;
- citric acid - a little bit on the tip of a spoon;
- sugar - 1 cup;
- filtered or settled water - 250 ml.
As in the classic recipe, washed oranges are thoroughly peeled, white films and pits. Then we cut the fruits into medium cubes in a deep bowl, cover them with sugar and pour water. We leave the oranges to let the juice and soak in the syrup for at least half an hour. It's better if they stay longer. You can even leave them like this all night. In this case, the oranges are ideally soaked in syrup. Then the fruits are thoroughly, but gently mixed and loaded into a slow cooker. We turn on the "Paired" mode. We set the time of its operation to 1 hour. And at the end of the preparation of the jam (at the signal of the multicooker), add citric acid to it and mix everything properly.
"Five Minute" - a quick and healthy orange dessert
A variety of “five-minute” jams from various fruits and berries are very popular with housewives, mainly because of the speed of their preparation. But in fact, this is not the main advantage of such desserts. The main charm of the “five-minute” is that it is much healthier than jam prepared in the traditional way or in a slow cooker. After all, any heat treatment destroys vitamins, and the shorter it lasts, the more useful substances remain in the final product. Most of them are saved in the “five-minute period”.
Orange jam five minutes
Oranges are primarily rich in vitamin C, which is very important for humans. And therefore, five-minute orange jam at any time of the year will be a powerful source of nourishment for the body with this vitamin. Oranges for the "five minutes" can also be peeled or left in the peel, divided into slices or cut into pieces of any desired shape and size. Other citrus fruits (lemon or tangerine), any fruits or berries can be added to the main ingredient. The fruits will need to be cut into pieces that are close in size and shape to orange.
For a more piquant taste, you can also add cinnamon, ginger, vanilla sugar, cloves. Sugar for an orange five-minute should be taken by weight about the same as that taken for cooking fruits (including additional ingredients - fruits, berries or citrus fruits). Depending on preferences, it can be put less (for lovers of sour jam) or more. “Five-minute” can be eaten right away, having prepared the required limited amount, or rolled up for the winter.

We fill them with sugar, and then fill them with water. Mix everything gently and leave the oranges for 2 hours to extract juice. Then we put the cooking utensils with fruits on the stove and turn on a small fire. We heat the oranges in our own syrup to a boil, and then boil them for exactly 5 minutes, after which we remove from the stove. Everything, the jam is ready. Do not forget to gently stir the oranges all the time while the dishes with them are heated on the fire. In the process of boiling, this must be done almost without stopping.
