Print Recipe

Jamie Oliver’s orange marmalade is a traditional citrus preserve made by simmering sliced oranges with sugar until thickened and glossy.

It balances sweetness with gentle bitterness from the peel, creating a classic British preserve.

Ingredients

    • Seville oranges or sweet oranges

    • Lemons

    • Granulated sugar

    • Water

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit

Wash the oranges and lemons thoroughly. Halve them, squeeze out the juice, and reserve it. Thinly slice the peel, removing any thick white pith if needed.

Step 2: Simmer the Peel

Place the sliced peel into a large pot with the reserved juice and water. Simmer gently for 30–40 minutes until the peel becomes soft and translucent.

Step 3: Add the Sugar

Stir in the sugar and continue cooking over low heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves and the liquid turns glossy.

Step 4: Boil to Set

Increase heat slightly and simmer until the marmalade thickens. Test for set by placing a small spoonful on a cold plate; it should wrinkle when pushed.

Step 5: Jar the Marmalade

Remove from heat, skim any foam, and carefully spoon into sterilised jars. Seal while hot and allow to cool completely.
