If you feel overwhelmed by the Christmas shopping craze, a gift made with your own hands can be a very special and unique way to show your love. This year why not make orange jam? It’s the peak of the season and the oranges are as juicy, sweet and ripe as it gets. Presented in a glass jar of your choice with a handmade decoration it will unmistakably win your loved ones over.

Ingredients
-
Oranges, 4 pounds
-
Apple, 1
-
Brown sugar, 2 pounds
-
Fresh Ginger, 1 tablespoon
-
Cloves, 2
-
Cardamom, 2 pods
Directions
- Peal oranges, clean trying to discard as much of the white part as possible, as this is what makes the jam more bitter. Keep the peel of an orange and boil in a pot of water for 5 minutes (helps take bitterness away).
- In a large pot bring to boil the orange pulp, sugar, ginger, spices and chopped orange peel. Cook over a medium to low heat for about 40 minutes. Take out the cardamom and cloves and let the jam cool a little. With an electric blender, blend the jam to as fine as you prefer it. We like ours to stay a little chunky, so we just give it a quick blend for smoothness.
- Sterilise your jars, ladle the boiling jam into the jars, screw the lids on and turn upside down.
- Once cooled down you can play around with creating fun labels and decorating the jars with beautiful materials and strings.
