Ingredients

• 500 ml Freshly squeezed orange juice
• 200 g Honey
• 10 g Powdered pectin
• 50 g Granulated sugar
• 50 ml Water
• 1 tsp Orange zest

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice and honey. Stir well to dissolve the honey into the juice.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and heat the mixture gently, stirring occasionally, until warm but not boiling.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the powdered pectin with the granulated sugar. This helps the pectin to evenly distribute without clumping.

Step 4

Slowly sprinkle the pectin-sugar mixture into the warm orange juice and honey, whisking constantly to ensure it fully dissolves.

Step 5

Add the 50 ml of water and orange zest to the saucepan, then increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Once boiling, continue to cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and reaches a jelly-like consistency. To test, drop a small amount onto a cold plate. If it firms up quickly, it's ready.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface with a spoon.

Step 8

Carefully ladle the hot jelly into sterilized glass jars, leaving about 1 cm of headspace at the top. Seal the jars with airtight lids.

Step 9

Let the jars cool completely at room temperature, then store the jelly in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
