Refined Sugar-Free Orange Marmalade Recipe sweet and tart jam. (2024)

Refined Sugar-Free Orange Marmalade is a delightful small-batch sweet and slightly tart with some rind for texture. Easy to make from scratch. Wonderful on gluten-free bread, bread, or to use in another recipe. Indeed, many enjoy orange marmalade because of its sweetness and tartness with nice bits of orange and lemon zest to give it its well-known toothsome bite. In fact, it is the perfect jam. Perfect addition to pancakes, waffles, or even inside muffins. Needless to say, this recipe has been revamped a couple of times.

One of my favorite Jams is Orange Marmalade. I love jam and crackers. Since I haven’t found a refined sugar-free orange marmalade I needed to make my own. Not to mention that this is a small batch meaning that it makes only one jar and about 1 cup. Simply cook and cool. Rather than canning it for the shelf I simply place it into a sterilized glass jar and once cooled place it into the refrigerator. In conclusion, occasionally the monkfruit will get crystallized again. No need to worry, simply add a little more freshly squeezed orange juice or a little water and stir together.

Refined Sugar-Free Orange Marmalade:

Refined Sugar-Free Orange Marmalade is not only amazing as a jam but can be used in other recipes as well, thereby, making it versatile as well. All in all, it is a sweet and slightly tart jam. Furthermore, this is a small batch recipe which means that this one jar can be stored in the fridge. In conclusion, I have added Multi Collagen. I used collagen as a thickener. Collagen is a complex protein and offers health benefits. (1) Feel free to omit this ingredient.

I use this with my Grain-Free Garlic Crackers, Sage and Thyme Grain-Free Crackers, use to top pancakes, waffles, or Soft Serve Vanilla Ice Cream. Check out how to make Powdered Monkfruit.

Refined Sugar-Free Orange Marmalade

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup (approximately) of freshly squeezed orange juice (approximately 3 oranges)
• 1/3 cup (approximately) fresh lemon juice
• 2/3 cup water
• 1 lemon zested
• 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener
• * 1 scoop Pure Multi Collagen (I used Ancient Nutrition) *optional

Directions:

First, zest the lemon. Secondly, juice 2 of the oranges and the lemon. Thirdly, slice the last remaining orange (with the rind on) into thin slices. Next, chop the orange slices into small bite-size pieces. Finally, stir together the collagen, powdered monkfruit, and monkfruit until blended. Add the juice from the oranges and lemon, water, zest, monkfruit mixture, and maple syrup into a pot. Finally, boil for 5 mins. Next, add in the chopped fruit. Reduce heat and simmer for approximately 40 minutes to an hour. Allow to slightly cool. Spoon into a half-pint-sized sterilized glass jar with a lid. Lastly, once cooled refrigerate. If you want it to last longer than 2 months. Process in a water bath and follow canning directions. In conclusion, the marmalade will thicken slightly as it cools.*Optional fruit: Clementines, cuties, grapefruit, limes, etc.
