This orange marmalade is unlike any other. For my latest marmalade "project", I decided to experiment with my classic orange marmalade recipe and add more peel strips. The result did me justice! The exquisite aroma of this beloved citrus and its explosive flavor took my homemade jam to a new level. Everyone who tasted it loved it, and it didn't take long for the jars to be emptied. This revamped jam, full of the aroma and deliciousness of orange, has now become our favorite and a sweet reminder of the simple pleasures of homemade creations when shared...

Note from Greek:
Homemade jams and marmalades do not contain preservatives and they should ideally be consumed within a year or even earlier for the best quality and safety.
You can reduce the amount of orange peels, mash them or omit them. But what makes this marmalade unique, delicious and aromatic is the orange peels! It has now become my favorite orange marmalade recipe and everyone loves it.
I made my marmalade with 7 medium oranges. The amount of oranges you need will depend on the size of the oranges.
