Directions
This delicious tangerine jam is versatile and can be eaten either as a classic filling for cookies, cakes or with the classic bread, butter and jam but it is also delicious together with spicy cheeses! An extremely simple recipe, made of only 3-4 ingredients with no added preservatives or chemical additives and the safety of bringing to the table products as natural as possible. Obviously the quality of the raw material is important, so try to buy organic mandarins, also because you are going to use the peels of the fruit, which will then be cooked and mixed together with the pulp.
