Ingredients:

• 1 kg thin-skinned mandarins
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 750 grams sugar
• Juice of half a lemon
• 2 cups orange or mandarin juice
• 1 cup water

Instructions:

1. Wash the mandarins thoroughly and soak them in vinegar water for 5 minutes.
2. Boil the mandarins in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain.
3. Repeat this boiling process twice more, a total of three times, to remove the bitterness from the mandarins.
4. After the final boiling, transfer the mandarins to cold water to achieve a more vibrant appearance, and let them cool.
5. Drain the mandarins and cut them in half. Remove any seeds.
6. Place the mandarins in a large pot and add the sugar.
7. Add 1 cup of water and 2 cups of orange or mandarin juice.
8. Simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the mandarins are well-coated.
9. Increase the heat and continue boiling until the mixture froths and the mandarins crystallize. Remove any foam.
10. Squeeze and add the juice of half a lemon to the mixture.
11. Pour the hot marmalade into jars. Turn the jars upside down to cool and seal.
