How to make sweet potato jam recipe This sweet potato treat is everything- it’s a jam, pie flavor, cake filling, roulade & cookies flavor.

It’s an old-world authentic recipe that my mom used to flavor so many of her dishes with.

INGREDIENTS

2.2 lb. oranges with very thick peel

2.2 lb. sugar

juice of one lemon

  • TO MAKE

Zest the orange, keep the zest to use for other desserts, I usually freeze it.

Place the orange in a pot with water, cook for 10-15 minutes, let it cool.

dump the water, refill the pot with fresh water, cover the pot and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, dump the water, make 4 soft cuts in the orange, keep the top and bottom intact.

Place the orange in a pot with the sugar, cover the pot & cook on low heat , while turning the orange every 10 minutes.

After one hour the sugar starts to melt & caramelized, keep the pot covered & cook on very low heat, careful not to burn. shake the pot every 15 minutes, cook another hour.

after 2-2.5 hours add the juice of one lemon, gently mix the lemon juice in, cook another 30 minutes.

Enjoy this unique dessert and pass it on.

As always, with love, from my kitchen to yours

Enjoy 💕
