When making orange marmalade, what is the correct water-to-oranges ratio? I'm trying to get the perfect consistency but often end up with it being too watery. Any advice on how to measure this properly would be really helpful! šŸ’§šŸŠ
 
A good starting ratio for orange marmalade is 1:1 by weight. For example, if you're using 1 pound of oranges, use 1 pound of water (about 2 cups). If it turns out too watery, you can simmer longer or reduce the water slightly. Make sure to cook it down slowly to thicken! šŸ˜Š
 
For making marmalade, aim for a water-to-oranges ratio of about 2:1. So, if you have 1 cup of orange slices, use 2 cups of water. This helps to get that perfect consistency and flavor. Happy marmalade making!
