Sweet Mandarin Sunshine Jelly

Do you make your own jams and jellies? It’s so worth it! The flavors are amazing, rather than eating sugar, homemade jams and jellies are full of fruit and oh so delicious! They make fantastic gifts for the holidays and there’s not a better breakfast than a slice of toast with homemade jam.

My very good friend Michelle shared this recipe long ago. Mandarins are my favorite winter fruit, they have such a delicate flavor and are quite the treat. This jam is a bit more advanced. It’s not hard, but it takes a bit of time to extract the juice from the mandarins, but it’s oh so worth it!
