Time for another canning recipe! This time, brilliant orangeness with tangerine jelly. If you like orange marmelade, you will like this. It has layers of flavor as well as a brilliant, almost glowing orange color.
I have discovered as well that I think I like working with powdered pectin better than I do the liquid pectin. Sets up much nicer.
This is a Recipezaar recipe, posted by DiB's.
Tangerine Jelly
I got 6 half-pints, plus almost enough for another
6 cups chopped tangerines, pulp, around 4 lb
1 cup chopped lemon, pulp (2-3 large lemons)
1/2 cup thinly sliced tangerine peel (about 4 tangerines)
1 cup water
1 (1-3/4 ounce) package dry pectin
5 cups white sugar
Now, tangerines are usually only found around here at Christmas time. So, instead I found a lovely bottle of tangerine juice that I used. I did chop up about 4 oranges and the lemon and used orange peel and it worked great. You need 4 cups of juice and the bottle was a quart, so perfect!
Combine pulps, peel and water in large saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain juice through a damp jelly bag. Measure 4 cups of juice. Combined the juice and powered pectin in a large pan. Over high heat bring to a boil. Add sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Return to a rolling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute. Ladle hot jelly into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath canner.
Voila! Day-Glo jelly!

The color on that looks great! I wish I'd done something like this when it was citrus season around here
Looks delicious Raquel, I found a tangerine marmalade in Aldi's and it was really good. The jars are lovely with the detail on them too.
Good job, Raquel. I love marmalade, so I'm sure this would go down well too.
