Set aside for about 10 minutes.

Once done, remove from water and place on a plate lined with a clean cloth.
Dry the oranges one by one.
Step 3:

Step 4:
Julienne or cut the zest into strips.
Place on a plate and set aside.
Slice and remove all of the seeds.
Remove as many membranes from the orange as possible.
Once done, add all of them to a food processor or blender, and blend until smooth.
Step 6:
Transfer 2 cups of orange puree to a saucepan.
Add 1 cup of sugar and the orange peels you sliced earlier to the puree.
Mix until well combined.
Step 7:
Place the saucepan over medium heat.
Constantly stir until the sugar has melted.
Once dissolved, turn the heat up and let it come to a boil.
Step 8:
Once boiling, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Mix until well combined.
Cook on medium-low heat, stirring often, until it thickens for about 15 to 20 minutes.
If you run your finger into the jam and it sticks to your hand, the jam is ready.
Turn off the heat and allow it to cool down for about 30 minutes.
Step 9:
Take a clean and sterilized jar and pour the jam.
Let it rest until it sets, then its ready for consumption.
Note: store in the refrigerator.
