How to make orange Jelly

Prep Time: 40 min.│Makes: 5-6 8 oz jars

Ingredients:

6 lb oranges, peeled and diced

3 tbsp. gelatin

5 cups of sugar

2 tbsp. pure vanilla extract

How to Prepare:

1. Spoon 1 cup of the sugar over the oranges. Set aside for

overnight.

2. Boil the oranges on a low heat for around 10 minutes, stirring

all the time. Pour in some water. Then mash the oranges

using the potato masher and strain the mixture to get 5-6

cups of juice.

3. In a saucepan, combine the orange juice with the remaining

sugar. Boil the juice for 30 minutes until thickened. The jelly

should be thick enough to pour it into the jars. Skim the foam

from the surface. 10 minutes before the jelly is ready mix in

the gelatin and pure vanilla extract. Remove the saucepan

from the heat and pour the freshly cooked jelly into the

sterilized jars or bottles.

4. Turn the jars upside down or boil for around 10 minutes and

then leave to cool. Check the lids by pressing them with the

finger. In case some of the jars or bottles with the jelly are

unsealed, place them into the fridge or reprocess the

unsealed jars.
