Orange Jam
- 3 lbs oranges (peeled, roughly 5 cups puree)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1–2 each cinnamon sticks (star anise & cloves, (optional))
- Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible.
- Puree the oranges with an immersion blender or regular blender.
- Place orange puree in a saucepan and add sugar and spices.
- Simmer the orange puree over moderate heat until it thickens into a jam, about 20-30 minutes. Test for consistency on a plate that's been kept in the freezer.
- Pour the orange jam into prepared canning jars and either store in the refrigerator or process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes.
