Instructions

Thoroughly wash the oranges, then zest and juice them.
In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine orange puree, zest, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over medium until sugar dissolves.
Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for about 60 minutes until thickened.
Test for doneness using the cold plate method: drop a spoonful on a plate; if it holds shape after cooling slightly, it's ready.
Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars and seal tightly.
