My thoughts:

Today was a busy citrus 24-hour interval at the Rappaport house. I made this jam too marmalade for the showtime time. I had many pounds of citrus I wanted to purpose upward too marmalade is a lot of fiddly work. I can't imagine doing ii batches of that inwards ane 24-hour interval unless a. I all of a precipitous became very, real quick at it or b. somebody was paying me. So I started to mean value of something citrus-y I could brand that would last a lilliputian less fourth dimension consuming. Don't acquire me wrong, it takes a long fourth dimension to supreme too thus many oranges but at to the lowest degree I didn't stimulate got a pare to worry close too the actual cooking of the jam was quick too easy. I honestly I stimulate got never seen a recipe for citrus jam earlier but I didn't run across whatever argue why it would move or last perfectly tasty. Sort of a marmalade without the candied peel. As it turns out, it makes a lovely jam, freshly orangish scented too non equally sweetness equally jelly would stimulate got been. The segments almost caramelize too actually pop. Since Cara Caras are pinkish inside, the jam is a pretty orangish rose color. It is yummy on breadstuff etc but I am already thinking of ways to purpose it inwards novel recipes that need a fighting of citrus.

I did "cheat" too added roughly liquid pectin despite oranges beingness pretty high inwards pectin. Cara Caras are seedless too I didn't desire to add together whatever bitterness from the pare to the jam. I knew it would easily fix amongst only a fighting of pectin too it did.
