Note

Storage: Fill clean jars with the warm conserve, seal, and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Ingredient Note: The recipe calls for unpeeled orange wedges. Ensure you wash the orange well to remove any wax or residue, as the rind adds essential flavor and pectin.

Variation: For a stiffer jam, increase the sugar slightly or cook a few minutes longer. This conserve works beautifully as a glaze for roasted meats or stirred into oatmeal.
