How to make sticky orange jam for Tet
Cut the oranges into even slices about 0.6 – 0.7 cm thick.
Place a layer of oranges in a bowl, spread a layer of sugar, and do it in turn. Coat a layer of sugar on top. Add the remaining orange juice when cutting (if any).
Leave to marinate for 6-8 hours for the sugar to melt, the oranges become succulent, darker in color.
Place the oranges and sugar mixture in a saucepan over medium heat, turning gently occasionally. You should not stir too much to avoid breaking the orange slices.
When you see that the sugar water is almost equal, take out the oranges. You add a little water and continue to slurry the sugar water until it becomes a thick paste and slightly yellowish, then lower the heat to low, add the oranges and gently stir to stick the sugar evenly on all sides.
Pick up the orange slices and put them on a rack / rack to dry in the sun for 2 days or put in the oven to dry for 4-5 hours at 70 degrees C. Store in glass jars or sealed packages. The syrup (remaining slug juice), you put it in a glass jar, use it to make a very delicious ginger tea.

Attention:

It is recommended to use yellow oranges for this marmalade.In addition to drying and drying, putting it in the refrigerator for 1 day is also a way to help the marmalade dry and shrink.When the slugs should add a little water, do not let the water dry, it will make the jam hard.
