Orange Marmalade Jam

6 large oranges
1 med lemon
4 cups of water
4-8 cups of sugar

Makes about 12 pints.. The amount of jam is determined by the size of the oranges..
In big bowl take the oranges and peel the skins put to the side..cut up the oranges put in the bowl same to the lemon. then take the peels and skin the white stuff of with a knife with just the peel left cut into strips and dice.
Place all in the bowl with 4 cups of water.. Cover and leave in cool place over night .

When you are ready to make the jelly  measure out the orange mixture. Put in tall pan like a dutch oven.. Boil for 20 mins .. then mash the mixture with potato masher  or hand mixer till mix well ..  Remember the cups you measure then for every cup of orange mixture add one cup of sugar.. If it goes to 6 cups I'll cook it then taste it if it needs more sugar then add the extra cups.. then boil for 30 mins stir every few minutes. If the mixture become fluffy cut down the heat..  cook until it get to the jelly stage about 30 mins. then place in  hot jars and Waterbath for 15 mins..
