Then heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil once.
Reduce the heat and simmer the jam on low for about 60 minutes. Stir occasionally during this process.
After that, puree the jam with a hand blender. Now add the strips of peel and mix thoroughly.
Then pour the hot jam into disinfected preserving jars. Make sure that 1cm/0.5in of air is kept free from the lid. Screw the disinfected lids tightly and turn them upside down. The heat from the jam will create a vacuum that will preserve the product for a long time. Then allow to cool completely.
