*South African Orange Marmalade

Prep Time: 15 minutes     Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes     Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients:

6 South African oranges, 3 zested, set zest aside, all peeled and diced, pith removed
½ cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in
1 tablespoon water

In a medium saucepan, heat the oranges, zest and syrup until boiling. Reduce heat just enough to keep it from bubbling over, and continue to cook over medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

When mixture has reduced and started to become sticky, add the dissolved cornstarch and stir in thoroughly. Continue to stir for a couple of minutes and then reduce heat to a simmer for about 15 minutes.

The mixture should look thick and taste sweet. Remove from heat and cool completely. Transfer to a heat-safe glass container for storage in refrigerator.

This marmalade is vibrant and bursting with flavor. It can be served as a toast topper, base for meatballs and glaze for barbecue pulled chicken on sourdough rolls.
