Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 2 large Oranges
- 1 large Lemon
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the blueberries thoroughly and set them aside to drain.
Step 2
Zest the oranges and the lemon, ensuring only the outermost layer of the skin is removed, avoiding the bitter pith.
Step 3
Peel the oranges and lemon, and remove as much of the white pith as possible. Roughly chop the fruit, removing any seeds.
Step 4
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, orange and lemon zest, chopped citrus fruit, and water.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir until fully dissolved.
Step 7
Increase the heat slightly and let the mixture simmer for another 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency. To test, place a small amount on a chilled plate; if it gels and holds its shape, it's ready.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully pour the marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
Step 9
Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal tightly with lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes if you plan to store them long-term.
Step 10
Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature. Store the marmalade in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year or refrigerate and enjoy within 3 weeks.
