To thicken your orange marmalade, try cooking it a bit longer to reduce the liquid, or you can add pectin, which helps jams and marmalades set. You can also add lemon juice, as its natural acidity helps with thickening. Make sure to test the set by placing a small amount on a cold plate—if it gels up after a minute, you're good to go!

To thicken orange marmalade, simmer it uncovered until the excess liquid evaporates or add a slurry of cornstarch or pectin.
