Homemade Canned Mandarin Oranges Recipe: Bringing Summer to Your Pantry
Ingredients:
- 1kg peeled mandarin oranges
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3/8 cups sugar
Instructions:
- Prepare Your Canner: To maintain the integrity of your preserves, ensure your canner is set up and your jars and lids are sterilized.
- Peel Your Fruit: Carefully peel the mandarin oranges, removing all the white pith to avoid bitterness in your canned fruits.
- Make the Syrup: In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, then remove from heat, keeping the syrup warm without boiling.
- Pack the Fruit: Place the peeled mandarin segments into your sterilized jars. Pour the warm syrup over them, leaving a 1/2 inch of headspace.
- Seal and Process: Secure the sterilized lids and rings onto the jars. Process them in a water bath canner for 10 minutes, submerging them in at least an inch of water.
- Cool and Check Seals: Allow the jars to cool for 12-24 hours. Check that the seals are correctly sealed, label the jars, and store them in a cool, dark place.
