Ingredients

6 Mandarin skins finely shredded.
2 Lemons pulped and juiced with the peel again finely shredded (getting rid of as much white pith as possible).
2 cups white sugar

Instructions

Place lemon pulp and juice with the mandarin peels in a bowl and cover with 2 cups water. Leave overnight.
Next day, put all in a pan and cook for 15 minutes over a medium heat.
Add sugar. Stir well and boil slowly until it shows it is setting on a cold saucer.
Bottle into sterilised jars.

Notes

Simply collect up the skins (freeze after cutting them up finely until you have enough) and you're away jam-making! Other citrus such as oranges and grapefruit works well too.

This recipe makes 2–3 jars.

Hi Barb,

You can but will need to add a little bit of gelatin to help the jam set.
