If you're a fan of bitter marmalade with big chunks of citrus zest and complicated or time-consuming (or both) instructions, you might want to click on over to a different recipe. But if you love a fresh, vibrant, marmalade studded with tiny slivers of vibrant orange zest and bits of tangy, fresh cranberries, this easy Christmas marmalade (takes 30 minutes, start to finish!) has your name (and mine) written all over it!

I'm so in love with the colors of winter produce. Oranges, lemons, cranberries, pomegranates, butternut squash, carrots... I do believe that God gave us vibrant, jewel-hued fruits and veggies at this time of year to give us a bit of cheer when the landscape outdoors is gray, bleak and often dreary.

This Christmas Marmalade is the essence of cheer in both taste and sight. It's vibrantly flavored with bits of juicy oranges, fresh-tasting citrus zest and tangy cranberries. It looks gorgeous in glass jars or in a pretty little bowl at the table.

Takes under 30 minutes, start to finish!

If you've never made jam before, this is a perfect place to start. It comes together quickly and is quite failproof. Oranges have a lot of their own natural pectin so this jam sets up quickly and consistently.

How do you make it? The most difficult part is probably zesting the oranges, which isn't really difficult. I like to use a small zester like this one.

Stock photo of a zesting tool.

The zest isn't too fine so that it disappears in the marmalade, but not so coarse that the texture has large chunks of zest. The zester is easy to work with and you can zest 3-4 oranges in right around 5 minutes.

After the oranges are zested, cut off the remaining peel and chop the fruit into small bits. I just slice them in rounds, then slice the rounds in both directions. Set aside the zest and combine the oranges with chopped cranberries and sugar in a large pot. Bring the mixture to a full boil, time it for 30 seconds, then remove from the heat.

The last thing you'll need to do before transferring the marmalade to shiny-clean jars is to add the pectin. Simply combine the pectin with water in a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil and time for 1 minute. Add the pectin mixture to the orange-cranberry mixture and stir, stir, stir. Scoop the beautiful jam into jars and stand back to admire your gorgeously-hued handiwork!

Here's a short video my daughter-in-law, Lindsay, created to demonstrate the easy process:

How to use this Christmas Marmalade

There are a zillion different ways to use this delicious orange-cranberry Christmas Marmalade. Here are just a few ideas:

  • It makes a delicious and quite gourmet peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
  • Use it as a topping for baked brie.
  • Serve it with yogurt and granola.
  • Make a fabulous grilled ham and cheese with a layer of this Easy Christmas Marmalade sandwiched between the layers.
  • Serve it over ice cream.
  • Use it as a glaze for chicken, shrimp, pork and salmon, delish!
  • Top pancakes with it.
  • Drizzle it over ice cream.
  • Use it to get a perfect shine on your favorite sports car. (Just kidding!)
  • Add it to a salad dressing.
  • Serve it with cheese and crackers. I love to serve it in a small bowl combined with some fresh pomegranate arils on a cheese tray. So good!

I think you get the point. There are so many delicious ways to use this Christmas Marmalade!

This cheerful marmalade makes a wonderful gift at this time of year for neighbors, friends, co-workers, teachers, etc. It's great on its own or combine it with a loaf of home-baked bread. Or add some delicious crackers and a log of goat cheese (or a block of smoked cheddar, gouda or whatever your favorite cheese is). A package of homemade granola would also pair wonderfully with this Christmas Marmalade.

One last little fun tip. I love to include a pretty spoon with my marmalade gift. I found these awesome little (super inexpensive) gold spoons on Amazon. They end up costing less than a dollar apiece, are made of stainless steel and are nice quality.

Café Tips for making this Easy Christmas Marmalade

  • Look for heavy-feeling oranges with a shiny peel. These will be juicier than lighter oranges with rough (usually thick peels).
  • Don't boil the jam longer than 30 seconds as instructed in the directions. You want to keep the fresh flavor and vibrant color. Boiling it for 30 seconds helps dissolve the sugar.
  • When zesting your oranges and lemon, it's important to get just the colored part of the skin. The white part underneath (called the pith) is bitter. You don't want that.
  • As mentioned above, I use this zester to zest my oranges. The zest is not too fine, but not too coarse and it doesn't get any of the pith. If you can't get one of the small zesters, use a vegetable peeler to remove just the colored zest. Then cut the peel into thin slivers.
  • What's the best way to roughly chop cranberries? They're a bit of a pain to chop, being round and prone to rolling all over and off the counter. I use my Vidalia chopper for this (and so many other things). I just put 8-10 cranberries on the grate, bring down the top and let it engage a bit with the berries, then give it a good "whack". It not only chops them perfectly, but there's also a measuring guide on the side so you can stop when you have enough without having to transfer them to another container to measure.
  • This jam is not processed with a hot water bath, so it is NOT shelf-stable. Keep it in the refrigerator when not in use, or it can be frozen for long-term (4-6 months) storage. If you use this marmalade as a gift, be sure to tell the recipient(s) to store the jam in the refrigerator when not in use.
  • Don't try to change the proportions of the ingredients and be sure to measure carefully. Making marmalade (and other jams and jellies) like this is an exact science and you can end up with problems with setting if you alter the ingredients.
  • Feel free to leave a comment below if you would like me to send you a PDF for the label pictured above. I simply print them out on cardstock or good-quality paper and cut out the labels. I use double-sided tape or tacky, quick-drying craft glue to attach the labels.
  • I attach the spoons (pictured above) to the top of the jars with a piece of scotch tape, then the label over the top of the spoon.
  • I love this red and white check ribbon for decorating these jars. It's of great quality, inexpensive and you get a ton of it on a roll (50 yards!).
  • When making jam and jelly (or marmalade) it's wonderful to have a funnel to neatly transfer the jam or marmalade to the jars. I have this funnel and have used it for longer than I can remember. It goes right into the dishwasher.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 medium-size navel oranges, 3 if they're large
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped cranberries
  • 4 ¼ cups sugar
  • ¾ cup water
  • finely zested zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1.75 ounce box powdered fruit pectin, I use SURE-JELL

Instructions
 

  1. Wash clean glass jars and lids with hot water or run through the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly. (You'll end up with about 5 cups of jam, so the number of jars you'll need will depend on what size they are.)
  2. Remove colored zest (just the colored part, not the white pith) from the oranges and the lemon, using a small zester (I love this one). If you can't get one of the small zesters, use a vegetable peeler to remove just the colored zest. Then cut the peel into thin slivers, or finely chop. Transfer the zest to a small bowl and set aside.
  3. Cut the remaining peel off of the oranges. Slice oranges then coarsely chop, reserving any juice. Transfer oranges and juice to a bowl.
  4. Add one cup of coarsely chopped cranberries to the oranges and stir to combine. Transfer exactly 2⅓ cups of the fruit mixture to a large pot. If you don't have quite enough, add a bit of water or orange juice to make exactly 2⅓ cups. If you have extra, discard (or use for something else) any remaining fruit mixture.
  5. Add the sugar to the pot and stir until well mixed. Turn the heat to medium-high and stir frequently until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil (a boil that you can't stir down). Set a timer for 30 seconds and boil, stirring continuously. After 30 seconds, remove from heat.
  6. Add ¾ cup water to a small saucepan. Sprinkle in pectin and stir until dissolved. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring continually.
  7. Add the hot pectin, lemon zest, orange zest and lemon juice to the fruit mixture and stir for 3 minutes. (Don't cheat on the 3 minutes.)
  8. Transfer marmalade to prepared containers immediately and fill to within ½ inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers and immediately cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature a few hours (if you can wait!). Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks or freeze extra containers up to 1 year. Thaw in the refrigerator before using it.

  1. I had cranberries in my freezer that I wanted to use. We are fans of orange marmalade so this recipe was a natural. It is so easy, a wonderful flavor combination and pretty in the jar. I will definitely make this again!

  2. Just making this now as a canned recipe. And just realized this is for the freezer. Can I process it in a hot water bath to make shelf stable?

    Reply

    1. Hi Meg, I always freeze this jam but it's not necessarily a freezer jam as it can be canned with a hot water bath.

      Reply

  3. The 20 minute prep time shown is totally inaccurate! The recipe is delicious, but peeling oranges and cutting them up, chopping the peels for both the oranges and the lemons and chopping cranberries, alone took 30 minutes or more. It’s so worth but be prepared to spend some time prepping.

    Reply

    1. Hi Gilda, I'm so happy you enjoyed this recipe. Regarding the prep time, I will adjust it. That's how long it took me but, that was after multiple test recipes so I got pretty speedy.

  6. Sounds like a lovely recipe!

    Does this need to stay refrigerated even before opening? I’d like to give these as gifts, and I’m wondering how long they can safely be stored in gift wrap at room temperature.

    1. Hi Madison, they are fine for a few hours. If you water bath and can them then they are shelf stable. If not, they need to be stored in the fridge or freezer.

  19. Will you please send some specific instructions on making this jam, Orange Cranberry Christmas Marmalade, so that it will be safe to mail , while obviously ,not refrigerated.
    One of your other jam recipes references preserving with a hot water bath, with a longer cooking time, but it is not clear to me about preparing the jars adequately.

    Thank you for your help and clarification.

    Again, thank you so much!! Looking forward to sharing the love :)!

    1. So glad to hear that, Laura! We are happy to send the labels and the link to the jars. This marmalade was designed as a freezer/refrigerator marmalade and we can't say for sure if it can be safely canned. The jam is perfect for canning. Enjoy!

  29. Hi. I'm pretty confused. I know how to zest "just the colored peel," but I have no idea how to, "After the oranges are zested, cut off the remaining peel and chop them in small bits." (In another section, you describe cutting them into rounds and slicing them.) Does "the remaining peel" mean the pith? If so, do I include the lemon pith, too? Thanks.
    (Also, just because I'm already asking stuff, what does the little horizontal thumb on the zester do?)

    Reply

    1. Hi Cici, I'm sorry if this was confusing. The orange are zested (just the orange part) then any remaining peel (it will be mostly pith) is removed so all you have left is the orange fruit itself.
      The zester I link to in the post is perfect for removing just the zest. I'm not sure what you're asking regarding the horizontal thumb. The end of the zester with the little holes is the part that's used to remove the zest.

      Reply

    1. Hi Cyndi, I wish I could say yes, but the answer is no. Since this recipe uses regular pectin, the exact amount of sugar is essential for a proper set. That said, there are low and no-sugar pectins available, however, it's best to use a recipe that has been created for low or now-sugar pectin, not this recipe.

I did process the jam so it is darker but you can still see the citrus. 🍊 I knew that I would run out of time closer to Christmas and wouldn’t make it. They still came out great but I vow to make it again next year without processing. This was a lot of fun!

  50. Hi there. I just tried making the recipie, but it was a total failure due to the pectin. I used 50g pectin powder (a direct conversion of the amount specified) and it was such a huge amount that it turned into a solid lump that couldn't be stirred or melted, and could not be combined with the other ingredients. Noone else seems to have had this problem. I live outside of the US (in Zambia), and am using pectin bought in Europe. Is there any chance the pectin powder could be a different strength? Was planning to give the marmalade as gifts tomorrow, so am so sad!!

    Reply

    1. I'm so sorry, Rosie. I am not familiar with other types of pectin produced outside of the US but that must be the issue as a box of powdered pectin here in the States is 49g or 1.75 ounces.

I'm frustrated that the majority of comments are for the labels, & that this makes it both time consuming & frustrating to find the feedback you are giving on legit questions. My suggestion - if you have a suggestion box - is that you make a different feedback grouping for the labels requests.

  113. I made this today and used a fresh Meyer lemon from my tree. This marmalade is delicious! I kept the marmalade very hot during the last step of mixing in the pectin over low heat. Once ladled into jars with lids and rings I flipped them over on the lids for 10 minutes. Then upright and in about 30 minutes as it cools I can hear the lids seal. Makes it shelf stable. I’ve been using this method for all my jams and jellies for years and it has a 99% success rate.

    1. Hi Evelyne, it's not a good idea to improvise on jam and/or jelly recipes as that can affect the setting of the jam.

  143. Hi Carey, this recipe was developed as a freezer/refrigerator recipe. To be on the safe side, I would go with recipes that are specifically designed for canning if you prefer to use a hot water bath.

  167. Hey! This recipe sounds so delicious, and is so dang lovely. I'd like to make some as gifts this year! I noticed on your notes it says:

    "This jam is not processed with a hot water bath so it is NOT shelf-stable."

    Does that mean it cannot be water bath canned? Or just that you didn't do it that way? I'm new to making jams/jellies, and extra new to water bath canning. So I'm just wondering if you have tried it or if there is a reason this would not work for that, because I imagine it's acidic enough!

    2. Hey Brittany! Did you make any changes at all before water bath canning? I’m super new to it (so far I’ve only done bbq sauce and cowboy candy- and I’m only like two weeks into the water bath canning adventure), and I would love to gift this as a shelf stable gift, but for some reason I thought you had to have a significant amount of an acid. If I can process this jelly, I’d be so pleased!

  202. I made this last year as gifts. I only kept one for myself. 😥 I’m going to be a bit more conservative with giving them away this year and will keep a few for myself. It is the best homemade jelly/jam/marmalade I’ve ever made.

    Reply

  203. I made this last night and processed it for 20 minutes in a water bath. I also used an immersion blender to make it a little smoother. I used the pink sure gel box. It gelled wonderfully. The colors are still like jewels and it is so tasty. Definitely going to make a few more as gifts.

    Reply

  205. I just finished making this and it looks amazing. Right now it's still quite thin in the jars so I'm hoping it will thicken as it cools. Last time I attempted something like this I was told when jam doesn't set its jelly and if it's still too thin it's compote. Haha. This will be in my Christmas baskets this year and I'd love to attach your labels if you could send them over. Thank you and Merry Christmas!!

  217. Hi Chris! I just made your recipe with my grandparents tonight. We taste tested some that was leftover in the pot, and omg it’s so flavor packed! Thank you for this resource. I have intentions to give these as Christmas gifts. Do I immediately put them in the fridge after letting them cool and instruct the recipient of the jam to do so as well? Or can it sit out until Christmas and then just tell the recipient to store it in the fridge from there? Please help me understand the timeline from production to fridge/ freezer storage and how the gift giving process plays into that as well! Thanks! ❣️

    Reply

    1. Hi KG, so happy you had the sweet opportunity to make this with your grandparents! What a great memory!
      Regarding your question, this should be stored in the refrigerator when not in use. It’s fine for it to sit out for a few hours but other than that, it needs to be refrigerated.

      1. Hi, My name is Debbie. This sounds wonderful and I’m excited to try it for gift giving. Does it come out on the more tart side or is it sweeter? I love everything that is tart cranberry and I love a more tart orange marmalade. Also, I know you specify following measurements and directions exactly. I would love to add more cranberries and possibly try a little seasoning like ginger and cloves. Any thoughts on how that might work?

        1. Hi Debbie, this is a fairly sweet condiment condiment. It's fine to add seasoning but adding more cranberries could affect the set of the marmalade.

Probably a whole day or so. Would that be ok?

  340. Yum Yum! I made this, adding 4 whole cardamom pods as the fruit simmered, then removing them before jarring the jam. Sweet, tangy jam with a hint of spice and bitterness on top of a salty sheep milk cheese and cracker...perfection.

    1. Hi Chris, so sorry you had trouble with this. If you use only the zest and cut it very fine, as suggested in the recipe, you will hardly notice the zest. The pith makes it tough or if you don’t zest the citrus fine.

    1. Hi Valerie, I'm sorry to say that liquid and powdered pectin are not the same. Sometimes it works to substitute but often, the jam, jelly or marmalade doesn't set properly.

      2. Yes I will give this amazing marmalade a five star because it definitely deserves it. I just finished making it and even though it was still warm, I ate it right out of the jar with crackers! OMG! Fabulous! It is quite liquidy for me and I don't know if it will set properly even though I purchased the powdered pectin but I really don't care because it is just too good!!!

    Reply

  412. Eager to try this recipe........looks beautiful and yummy! Curious why pectin is necessary. Most recipes I’ve seen / used for marmalade do not require due to the acidity of the citrus. Is this because the boil time is so short 30sec?
    Love the label as well! Please
    I’ll be back to rate once I make. Going to water bath process for shelf stability...will let you know how that turns out.

    Reply

    1. Hi Cori, that's a great question about the pectin. You're right, this marmalade only cooks a very short time. For this reason, it keeps it's beautiful color but it doesn't thicken. If you cook marmalade long enough to thicken it, the color is very dull and drab.

      Reply

  416. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! It looks so much prettier in the jar and tastes brighter and more citrusy than another recipe I have used. Delicious...also in thumb print Christmas cookies!
    Could you also send me the labels you mentioned? Thank you kindly.

  417. Is it possible to process this with a hot water bath, or is there a reason this recipe does not call for it? I made these and it turned out delicious I'm just concerned if I give them as gifts that they will sit out too long at room temperature. Any tips? Would also love a copy of those labels!

    Reply

    1. Hi Hannah, I haven't personally processed this jam in a hot water bath however, lots of readers have reported doing so with success. This jam is fine for several hours at room temperature. The sugar makes it stable. But for longer term storage, you definitely want to refrigerate or freeze it. Sending the labels now.

      Reply

  418. I gave this 5 stars because it is so pretty! I love the orange flavor with the cranberries!

    I noticed that it is very sweet. The only reason I am hesitant about giving this as a gift to our neighbors is the sweetness. I rarely eat marmalade so I am not sure how sweet it's supposed to be.

    Reply

    2. Hi Theresa, jams, jellies and marmalades are sweet although some marmalade can be a little bitter because the whole peel is used. You only use a teaspoon or two on a piece of toast so it's not really that sweet. I think your neighbors will love it.

    Reply

    1. Hi Karen, frozen cranberries would work great in this recipe. If you used dried, I think you'd need to adjust the sugar a bit as they are so sweet but changing the sugar can affect the set of the jam so I would stick with frozen cranberries. Thanks for your holiday wishes! Same to you!

  503. Hi Chris - I've been looking at your post today and I'm making a plan for Christmas. I'm making your balsamic fig jam and I think this Christmas marmalade looks great. Can you send the PDF for the label? I'm going to order the little spoons you attached to the marmalade too. I think it makes a nice presentation and is very festive. Will let you know how the jam and marmalade turn out after I get the ingredients. I will just store the jars in my freezer and have instant Christmas gifts.

  510. I made this last night and my jam is very dark read, not the beautiful light orange color with the bits of red. When you measure out the 1 cup of cranberries is that before you have chopped them or after? I chopped then measured so I think I have a lot more cranberries than yours did. It still tastes great just does not resemble yours at all. Also, I did waterbath process for 10 minutes as I think it has more than enough acidity to safely can and it worked perfectly! Thanks for sharing.

    Reply

    1. Hi Jeannie, I'm not sure why your jam turned out dark. The only thing I can think of is the water bath. With the freezer preservation, the jam is barely cooked so it retains a lovely, fresh color. I'm wondering, if the 10 minute hot water bath might have changed the color.

    Reply

  528. Hi. We really love the sound of your marmalade recipe. However, my question is... Does it need storing in the fridge as soon as its made, or once it has been opened? I want to make some to go in a hamper, however that wont be opened for a couple of days so the marmalade won't be refrigerated.
    Many thanks

    Reply

    1. Hi Cindy, this is a jam that would have to be refrigerated or frozen when not in use. You would have to put it through a hot water bath to make it shelf-stable.

    1. Sure, I'll send you the labels, Cathy!
      Regarding the Certo and SureJell, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I recommend that people use the pectin that the recipe calls for because it's so sad to end up with sauce instead of jelly or jam.

    1. Hi Eileen, I'll get the pdf off to you now. The jelly jars are made by Weck. You can get Weck jars on Amazon (I like these: https://amzn.to/2AIYy1i) but I've had difficulty finding the little round squat ones here in the U.S.I got mine years ago in England when our daughter lived there. However, just recently I was thrilled to them on this website for a reasonable price. The shipping is one rate, no matter how many you order. https://weckjars.com/product/902-deco-jar/

  534. Can Certo be substituted for the Sure-Jell in this recipe? Thank you for posting the Scripture verses with your recipes. Please send me the PDF for this recipe. Thank you.

    Reply

    1. Hi Lois, Certo and Sure-Jell are not interchangeable. If you check out recipes for the same type of jam with the two pectins, the proportions are different so I've never substituted one for the other.
      I'll send you the pdf now!

    1. Hi Kathleen, I first purchased some of these jars in England. I love them and looked for more after we returned home. Amazon carries a nice selection of Weck jars but not the little squat ones (called mini deco jars). I really like these also: https://amzn.to/2SAQxBO
      I did finally find one place in the U.S. that carries the rounded ones:

Will have to make another batch just for me! I used the pink Sure-jell box and reduced the sugar by 30%. I also canned mine. They turned out so gorgeously perfect, beautiful color and flavor.

    Thank you so much for another delicious recipe. I love recipes that can be given away as gifts since my joy of cooking is directly related to my love of sharing.
    Would you be willing to share the weight of the ingredients please? Specially for the oranges sugar and cranberries? Find it easier to successfully scale up and down with weight measurements. If not no worries, I’ll figure it out. Thanks again for all the creative and delicious recipes your shared and inspired me to try out this tear. Our family favorite is the lemon blueberry shortbread and the candies pecan bloodies. Wishing you and yours a Blessed Christmas season.

    Reply

    1. Hi Beth,
      You sound a lot like me!
      The weight measurement for the sugar and cranberries should be easy to get with the conversion table. There's a button right under the ingredients that allows you to convert from US Customary measurement to Metric. With the oranges, it's a little more difficult because some oranges have a very thick peel and with some, it's super thin. 3-4 medium-size oranges will work well. You measure after they are chopped.
      I'm sending you the pdf now. Enjoy!

    1. Hi Diana,
      I do have one set that I purchased in England but most of my Weck jars are from Amazon. They are called "Mini Tulip Jars" and they hold about 7.5 ounces.
      I buy SureJell at my local grocery store. It's in the same section as the canning jars. You may have a different brand but if it's 1.75 ounces or 49g it should work.
      Hope that helps.

  593. Hi Debbie,
    That's a good question. This is a marmalade that's created to be a freezer (or refrigerator) stored condiment.
    That being said, I know the pH should be below 4.6 to safely can jams and jellies with a hot water bath. There is lots of orange in this marmalade and orange has a pH of between 3 and 4. Lemon is also very acidic and has a pH of around 2. All this to say I think it should be fine. The only downside is that you may lose some of the vibrant fresh flavor and color in the hot water bath.
