To be honest, orange marmalade is not something I would have jumped at making in the past. There’s a time and a place for this tangy spread, but is it really necessary to go the homemade route? I can now confidently say the answer to that question is yes. This perfectly sweet and zesty marmalade is super easy to make and will win you over with the first bite. Give the homemade version a go and taste the difference!

This is a great recipe for when you have a big bag of mandarin oranges that need to be used up. I always have the best intentions when buying fruit in bulk, but the reality is that it doesn’t always get eaten in time. Squishy oranges work just perfectly in this case.

My favorite way to enjoy this marmalade is on a good piece of toast with a schmear of cream cheese. The rich and tangy flavor go just perfectly together. It’s also great for making marinades and sweet and sour sauces for Asian style dishes. No matter how you end up using it, you’re sure to appreciate the fresh homemade flavor!
