Cooking process

I decided to make an interesting jam – from mandarins with peel. For its preparation I bought tangerines from two countries – Moroccan and Benin. It is necessary to use elastic, undamaged fruit of small size. Mandarins for jam cut in half, but for the experiment left a few mandarins whole. And what happened as a result – see below.

It turns out the original amber mandarin jam (with peel)! In the season of mandarins, be sure to prepare this fragrant jam.
