Today I propose a delicious orange jam made with my beloved Thermomix.
In preparing this jam, I make completely natural “additions” to make it as genuine as possible without using chemical additives.
For one kilogram of cleaned oranges, I add: one apple, one lemon, and two carrots to create the famous pectin that gives consistency to the jam.
We can enjoy it at breakfast spread on bread or toasts, but also in fragrant tarts or in the preparation of cakes or stuffed cookies.
Add a touch of vanilla beans or a dash of rum, a touch of Grand Marnier, or even some cinnamon to make it more fragrant.
It can also be made in a pot, perhaps blending the fruit with a small mixer.

INGREDIENTS
- 1 kg Oranges
- 1 Lemon
- 2 Carrots
- 1 Apple
- 500 Sugar
- Vanilla pod to taste
Preparation
PREPARATION
Wash the fruit well, peel the oranges and the lemon, removing the white part, and set aside 60 grams of orange peels per kilogram. Cut everything into chunks. In a large pot, place the oranges, lemon, apple, carrot, and sugar. Bring to a boil, and continue cooking over low heat, with the pot partially covered, for 2 hours. Towards the end of cooking, add the vanilla or flavoring as desired. At this point, we can blend everything into a puree or leave it in pieces. Once cooking is complete, pour the still-hot jam into sterilized jars, seal them, turn them upside down, and let them cool.
