• 1/4 cup of fresh orange juice

• juice of one lemon

• 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme, finely chopped

• pinch of salt

Preparation:

• Place the oranges, orange juice, lemon juice, and sugar in a pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to mix all ingredients.

• Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the pinch of salt, stir. Let simmer for 30 minutes and then add the thyme and orange zest, stir.

• Continue cooking until the ingredients are reduced by at least one third of the initial amount. It should have a sticky texture. This process can take at least an hour. If desired, you can add a bit more sugar to thicken the jelly further.

• Once the desired cooking point is reached, remove from heat and let cool. Place in jelly jars and refrigerate.

Enjoy!
