• Ready In: 45 mins
• Yields: 4 half pints

Ingredients

• 3  lbs tangerines
• 2  small lemons
• 1 1⁄2 cups water
• 4 1⁄2 cups sugar

Directions

1. Chop the tangerines, peel and all. I do this by hand, so as to remove the seeds. If you’re using a seedless variety, then by all means use the food processor.
2. Repeat with the lemons.
3. Combine the tangerines, the lemons, and the water in a pot.
4. Bring rapidly to a boil; simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and let sit 12 to 18 hours.
5. Add the sugar (or more, if you like a sweeter marmalade) and bring rapidly to a boil. Meanwhile, start heating up your boiling water bath in a separate pot.
6. Stir constantly while bringing the mixture almost to the gelling point.
7. Transfer to prepared half pint jars leaving a 1/4" headspace. Process in
8. a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Adjust time according to your altitude.
