Ingredients

  • 4 mandarins
  • water for boiling
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • ¾ cup sugar caster or superfine
  • ½ vanilla bean
  • 1 pinch Greek mastic

Instructions

  • Place whole mandarins (skin and all!) and lemon juice in a pot and barely cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer till mandarins are tender and soft to the touch.
  • Remove mandarins from liquid and process in a food processor. Give them a few whizzes in the food processor but don’t let it all go mushy. We’re looking for a little texture here.
  • Return the fruit to the pot and add the sugar, vanilla bean and the mastic. Bring back to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  • Boil the mandarin jam mixture for about 30 mins – the seeds will rise to the surface during this time, and will be easy to remove
  • Let the mixture cool and store in sterilised jars.
