How to Make Orange Peel Jam?
- Chop the peels of the oranges. Clean the white parts of the shells thoroughly with the help of a knife.
- Wash the orange peels thoroughly under clean water 3 times and leave them in the water preferably overnight.
- Put the peels in boiling water and boil for 7-8 minutes. Then put it in ice water and repeat this process two more times. We do this to remove the bitterness of the orange peels.
