Tangerine Jam
We were invited to a friend's house last weekend. When I tasted the jams and marmalades prepared by his mother for breakfast, I decided that I should make a jam at the first opportunity this week.
This time, I decided not to make the jam I prepared in large quantities because it takes at least 2 months for 1 people who do not have breakfast at home to eat 6 kg of jam every day. This means that after a while we get bored of eating the same jam all the time. Two medium-sized jars came out of the jam I prepared, which I think is too much. I'm thinking of using 2 jar for desserts or cakes.
You know that the less sugar in the juice of the jam makes it thicker. We usually add lemon so that the dense sugar jam does not become sugary while it is waiting in the jar. While I was mixing my spice rack, I found the lemon salt I had bought before and decided to use it. It was much more practical than lemon.
I prepared before orange jam You can try using the method in this recipe.
Note: It seems a little watery for my husband, I think the jam is just right, but those who like jam with a thicker consistency can use 1,5 glass of water instead of 1 glasses.
Love…
Ingredients for Tangerine Jam Recipe
- 3 medium tangerines
- 3 cup powdered sugar
- 1,5 water glass of water
- 1 cardamom
- 1 dried clove
- 1 teaspoon of lemon salt
How to Make Tangerine Jam Recipe?
- Wash the tangerines that you have chosen in sizes close to each other and put them in the pot. Add plenty of water and boil for 1 hour.
- Strain the boiled tangerines and add cold water again and boil for 1 more hour.
- In another pot, take 3 cups of sugar, 1,5 cups of water and add the cardamom and cloves. Cook on low heat until the sugar dissolves.
- When the boiling syrup starts to thicken, drain the boiled tangerines again, add cold water to cool a little and slice with a sharp knife.
- Throw the sliced tangerines into the boiling syrup. After boiling for another 15 minutes on low heat, add lemon salt into it. Boil for another 5 minutes and remove from the stove.
- Fill the jam into jars and close tightly.
Lemon salt is a chemical substance and is only used for cleaning. I recommend that you research this topic.
I made it by putting 1 glass of water and it was an insatiable jam. Thanks to your hands and efforts :)
At the moment, I am boiling tangerinekari in the 2nd water. But they are very soft. Is it normal?
Hello, no water is put into the jam, the fruit is left in the pot with sugar overnight, some of the sugar is already wet during the waiting time, it is mixed on low heat until it releases water, and the temperature is increased when it is watered. Jam should not be cooked on low heat, it may caramelize, its color and smell will change. The rule of jam is "hot fire and the juice of the fruit itself". If the mixture in the pot is not watered, a small cup of water is added and when mixed at low heat, it will release the juice and dissolve the sugar. The shape and vitality of the fruits cooked in rapid fire are not lost, they take on a lively appearance. When it comes to lemon salt, it is the right choice, lemon salt makes the jam shiny. Love :)
Hello there
I tried the recipe today, it tastes great, I used 1,5 cups of water and I think mine was a little watery, I left it to cool down and I hope it will get thick.
Hi Nilay hn,
Boiling for an hour isn't it too much? So how does it preserve its aroma when boiled for a long time? I will be glad if you inform me,
Also, I will try tangerine jam for the first time, so it is important for me to learn your thoughts about making tangerine jam by folding method as well as making it with syrup,
I would be glad if you share, I follow your recipes with interest and I do not pass without looking :)))
Thank you,
Hi “2qtfrnhjö, You are right, there is no water in the jam, no less, Love :)
I want to make lemon jam. I tried once but it didn't turn out the way I wanted. can you just help?
I make tangerine jam from the peels of Bodrum tangerines (because of its aroma), I keep the tangerines in a little water and then boil them, I don't put the inside, because there are seeds, I squeeze the juice and boil it with sugar, I add the tangerines in it and boil it, it will be amazing I will try yours too, thank you
The first question that came to my mind was that the crusts will be cooked, but thank you for the explanation, I think I will try it, I hope it will be good. Thanks for the recipe. good luck to you…
I tried it on the weekend, but it was very watery, the smell is amazing, but I think I made a mistake somewhere or my tangerines were not very good, they fell apart when I chopped them.
Hello Özge, my wife thinks it is too watery. I will use the remaining water to make the cake. The consistency of the jam changes according to the water left by the tangerines. I'm thinking of cooking again this week. love.
Mandarin jam is mostly made in Greece. they make it from a very small type of tangerine. theirs is also very watery. Try the extra water on strained yogurt, it's very good :)
I know it is kumquat jam and I eat it with love :) even if we eat it...
I will try the tangerine jam this week too.. good luck :-)
Thank you Sengul lady, love...
The garden is boiling with tangerines, I thought I should do it last year, but I gave up. Also, fragrant Bodrum tangerine, thank you very much for the exact recipe I will make.
I think it would be great :) Best regards…
I tried it, it was great. thanks
I keep the word up to date every day and sometimes even at night, I look at all your old publications over and over again. …By the way, I didn't think that I would make any jam.
Dear Fatoş, your comment made me really happy :) I think you should definitely share what you have prepared. I hope you open the kitchen secrets from within the blog system and I will follow your posts. Big love :)
Mandarin is a jam that I am not familiar with. must try
Thanks for your effort
Yours
Thank you names :) Best regards..
My mother makes it from orange and even I know orange bergamot, but it's really the first time I heard it with tangerine, it should be tried. Each one from the citrus family is very delicious.
I totally agree Zeynep, I think the slightly burning and cool flavor of citrus fruits is incredibly delicious. Love…
Shall we peel the tangerines?
Hello Ezgi, we cook tangerines with their peels.
thank you, i will try it this weekend :)
