Cooking Instructions!
Wash the tangerines thoroughly and remove the peels using a sharp knife. Cut the peels into thin strips and set aside.
Squeeze the juice from the tangerines and remove any seeds.
In a large saucepan, combine the tangerine peels, tangerine juice, sugar, and water. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 45-50 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and reaches a syrup-like consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
While the preserves are cooking, sterilize the jars by washing them in hot, soapy water and then placing them in a large pot filled with boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove the jars and lids from the hot water and let them air dry.
Once the preserves have thickened, carefully ladle the hot mixture into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) headspace. Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth and seal tightly with the lids.
Place the filled jars back into the pot of boiling water and process for 10 minutes. Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely on a towel-lined countertop.
Enjoy your homemade tangerine preserves on toast, muffins, scones, or use it as a unique topping for desserts!
