Using a peeler, remove a very thin peel from some oranges and set it aside. Then clean the oranges thoroughly, removing all the white part, fibers, and seeds, leaving only the pulp. Cut the pulp into pieces. Slice the orange peel into thin strips or chop it finely, depending on the texture you prefer. Do the same with the peel of one lemon and put everything into a pot.
Add: sugar, lemon juice, rum essence, a cinnamon stick, and a pinch of ground cinnamon. Mix well and let it rest in the fridge for a few hours. This step allows the flavors to blend perfectly.
After the resting time, place the pot on the stove and cook over medium heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. When the marmalade reaches the desired density, remove it from the heat. Immediately pour the hot marmalade into sterilized jars, seal tightly, and turn them upside down to create a vacuum seal. Allow to cool completely.
Enjoy your meal!
