2 Ingredients Instant Pot Orange Marmalade Easy Recipe

I remember that as a child, I was Orange Obsessed. Yes that is a term. 😀 

Whenever we would go visit Grandma in the winter, she would always have a stock of oranges to feed us unlimited.

Sunny Cold days (oxymoron right?) and juicy sweet oranges were the match made in heaven. 

If given a choice, I would rather eat the whole orange than drink a glass of orange juice. Another favorite form that I devoured the oranges was – Bitter Sweet Orange Marmalade.

I could finish the whole jar of the marmalade and look for more. There was something so satisfying about the Marmalade that I could never have enough.

How to make Easy Orange Marmalade in Instant Pot?

Traditionally, making Orange Marmalade is a work of love and labor. It takes good 8-10 hours to make a traditional Marmalade. Thanks to Instant Pot, that now Orange Marmalade is done under an hour and still tastes so authentic. :O

Since the Marmalade is a whole fruit preserve including the skin, it is different from Jam or Jelly.

Here is how it goes!

Kitchen Gadgets Needed for the Orange Marmalade Recipe

Instant Pot Mini or Instant Pot any size. I used IP MINI for this recipe.

Inner Pot

Ladle 

6 ounce Mason Jar

Choosing the Right Oranges

Traditionally, Quince was used to making Marmalade. A popular kind of orange used for the fruit preserve is SEVILLE.

Seville oranges are high in natural pectin and give perfect taste with that a tad bit of bitterness, exclusive to the marmalade.

I used whatever oranges were handy. But making sure that these were thin skinned so that my marmalade was not very bitter. 

Washing the Oranges

Since we use the fruit with its skin, this is an important step. Either you are using the organic or regular kind, washing it right is a must.

First, I cleaned the oranges off any stickers or stems. 

Then I filled a large pot with about 1 gallon of water and added about 2-3 tbsp Vinegar to it. Dunked the oranges to the water and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain the water and the oranges are ready to be used.

Preparing the Oranges for Marmalade

In order to obtain that perfect spreadable Marmalade, it is important to prepare the Oranges right. 

You may use a Sharp Knife (on sale right now) or a Mandoline to prepare the oranges.

You must cut or grate the oranges with their skin very thin for the best result. Also, you may make the cuts long or short. I kept them medium length.

Preparing Oranges in Instant Pot for the Marmalade

Add thinly sliced oranges with their skin and juice to the Inner Pot of the Instant Pot. Place the inner pot inside the IP. Plug it in. Add the water. Close the lid and set the valve on SEALING. Press the Manual/Pressure Cook Mode and set it on HIGH for 10 minutes. After the timer goes off, follow NPR (natural release).

Instant Pot Marmalade

Since the basic prep is done till the above step, now we set on to make the Marmalade.

Add Granulated Sugar to the Oranges now. 

Press the Saute Mode and set it on for 25 minutes on NORMAL MODE. Stir the sugar well in the Cooked Oranges. And cook for about 22-23 minutes till the Orange Marmalade is set to its consistency.

I went by the timing since I didn’t have the candy thermometer and it set well. If you have a Candy Thermometer, then cook till the temperature rises to 223-225 degrees F. 

VERY IMPORTANT – It is very important to keep stirring the marmalade while it is cooking. Since there is sugar in it, it will start caramelizing and burning at the bottom. So keep stirring the pot often. 

Your Instant Pot Orange Marmalade is ready.

How to make sure that ORANGE MARMALADE is ready?

It is a simple test. Place a plate in the freezer before you start the process. When the marmalade is done, take the plate out. Place a teaspoon-ful of marmalade at the back of the chilled plate. If the marmalade is done, it will be gel like and move just slightly. And If the marmalade is runny, then cook for some more time.

Quantity of Marmalade made from this recipe

I have made a small batch of the marmalade and can easily fit in 2 small mason jars of 6 ounces each. You will get about 12-15 ounce of Orange Marmalade from this recipe.

How to store Instant Pot Orange Marmalade?

Before you start the process, boil 2 of the 6 ounces clean jar with lids or 1 large jar in water for about 10-15 minutes. Take them out and dry with a clean paper towel. Once the Orange Marmalade is cooled for about 15-20 minutes, fill up the jars with it. Store in refrigerator. 

Since there is a chance that you will indulge liberally on it, it would finish soon.
