How to cook tangerine jam with crust and whole fruits.
For 1 kg of tangerines, take 1.5 kg of sugar; for syrup you will need 1 liter of water and 1 kg of sugar (for 1 kg of fruit - 1.5 liters of syrup, then 250 g of sugar three times).
Select fruits for jam that are unripe and small-fruited. Sort them by size, set aside any wrinkled or damaged ones. Wash thoroughly.
Then pierce the tangerines with a fork or toothpick along the segments.
Immerse them in hot (85-95°C) water for 15 minutes.
The next stage is to soak the fruits in cold water for 24 hours, then pour sugar syrup over the tangerines, boil for 5 minutes and soak again, but for 12 hours.
Cook the jam by boiling for five minutes and cooling for twelve hours in three steps. Each time before cooking, add a portion of sugar.
After the final cooling, pour the resulting syrup into a bowl, boil until transparent and pour it over the tangerines placed in jars.
Sterilize half-liter jars for half an hour, liter jars for 50 minutes. Roll them up hot.
You will definitely amaze your household and friends by putting on the table the amazing-tasting, magically amber tangerine jam, prepared for future use, the fruits of which will resemble the bright summer sun.
