Homemade Orange Jam without Preservatives. Orange jam Recipe using Fresh Orange Juice . Easy Orange Jelly made with oranges, sugar.
Making jam is so much fun, I love doing it..It gives you immense pleasure if you make your own stuffs at home..Because you know it is healthy and preservatives free, since you know what is inside that.. oranges are in season right now, Ok I know a little late..I made this couple of weeks back..But still oranges are available here..Its so cheap right now..So go get some fruit and whip up this stuff.
It seems a little complicated, but once you start making this, you will know how easy and cheap it is..yes it is very cheap compared to the orange jam that is available in those labeled fancy jars. I added lemon juice as a preservative here, to freshen it up and save it for a long time. But you do need to put this in the fridge as a precaution. This jam won’t be thick when it is in the stove.
Actually you should take it off the heat once it starts to thicken up, because it will get so thick as it cools down. So be careful…This taste great when spread on toast..I have half a jar of it leftover in my fridge , I am planning to make some nice jam filled cupcakes or cookies out of that..Will let you know the results.

hello mam, i made half of this recpie added 50gms of more sugar but it is on bitter side, i dont know where i went wrong . i have followed your steps exactly. please help.
Aarthi
@meenakshi May be you must have squeezed the orange with the bitter taste. Dont add sugar in the begining. It should be added at the end.
Balu
Thanks for this great recipe. But after following your procedure exactly, the jam tastes bitter. Any suggestions?

OJam
Hi, I made the orange jam a while ago but it's color was not the same as yours. can you help me on it ? And regarding the orange juice being place at kadai, how many minutes will i allow it to boil before turning to simmer ? hehe sorry if i'm asking too much but hope you'll notice me. thanks a lot. God Bless 🙂
Aarthi
@Mohit ChhabraYou got to add sugar once the juice is boiled for a while.
Aarthi
@OJamYou have to reduce it till it is more than half reduced then add sugar
Ratnesh Tiwari

Hello,�� Aarthi Mam, I am writing to you from Nainital...We are village Mahila Samiti marginal farmers who also want to sell our fruits to give our children average education..if you guide us to make sugar free jams n chutneys..we can prepare them n forward them to Bigger markets as such.Aapki bahut meharbani hogi madam.One tourist told us to use apple �� vinegar also to give them more shelf life.
