Step-by-step cooking

Step 1:
Prepare the products. Wash the oranges thoroughly.
Step 2:
Squeeze the juice in a convenient way. If you squeeze oranges using such a manual juicer as in the photo, then you can first hold the orange under hot water and roll it on the table, so there will be more juice and it will be easier to squeeze.
Step 3:
The resulting juice can be passed through a large sieve, so the finished marmalade will be more transparent. About 100ml of juice comes out of one medium orange.
Step 4:
Split the juice equally. Pour sugar into one part and mix / adjust the amount to taste, if the oranges are sour - add /. Heat the other part of the juice a little / I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds / and pour in the Agar - agar, mix and leave for 15-20 minutes.
Step 5:
Bring the juice with sugar to a boil. First, on a slow heat, stirring constantly, when the sugar is completely dissolved, increase the heat to medium.
Step 6:
Add the juice with Agar - agar to the boiling syrup, stirring. Cook the mixture for 3 minutes and remove from the stove. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
Step 7:
Pour into silicone molds. It should be borne in mind that mixtures with Agar-agar quickly harden even at room temperature, so you should not wait for complete cooling. Otherwise, the mixture will freeze right in the container and it will be difficult to pour. Allow to cool slightly and put the molds in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Step 8:
Then take out the marmalade from the molds and treat your family and do not forget yourself.
Step 9:
If the marmalade is left or is being prepared in advance for the holiday, I put it in one layer in small containers / disposable / and store it in the refrigerator. The truth is eaten with pleasure and very quickly. Bon appetit!

If desired, you can roll the marmalade in sugar, but over time the sugar melts on such marmalade, so it is better to sprinkle the marmalade with fine sugar every time just before serving.
For 7g of Agar - agar, you can safely take 5 oranges. 4 oranges turned out to be 470 grams of delicious marmalade.

Before adding agar, pay attention to its marking. The numbers on the package, for example 600, 900 or 1200, indicate the strength (elasticity) of the resulting gel. The higher this figure, the denser the jelly will turn out.
Always keep in mind that the proportions of agar-agar indicated in the recipe are relative, since the result is influenced not only by the strength of the gel (figures on the package), but also by the quality of agar-agar, as well as the amount of sugar and acid in the dish. In order not to make a mistake and get the desired result, it is recommended to do a test.
To do this, take 1 tablespoon of a ready-made, but not yet cooled dish, and place it in the freezer for 1 minute. If the jelly turned out to be of the desired consistency, then the proportions are observed correctly. Otherwise, it is necessary to thicken or, conversely, dilute the dish.
