Hello friends and welcome to little beans Garden located in Pomona California Stone 10A established in 2015 my name is sule and I will be your host for today hey friends this is a couple of days after we harvested the Golden Nugget Mandarin as you can see I have a couple

Of mandarins that I have washed and dried out in this bowl and let’s go ahead and get started in today’s project from garden to table we’re going to use these mandarins to do a mandarin jam oh and I can tell you right now right off the bat it is so Delicious okay first things first let me let me set you up where you can see what I’m doing and I’m going to take a couple of mandarins and put them on my cutting board and basically I don’t want to do too many at a time on my board because

Then it gets too messy but what you want to do is you want to take off the Rind from the mandarins you don’t want that in your Mandarin Jam because it is going to make it super bitter and you abs absolutely don’t want that I actually did a jam before I followed somebody

Else’s recipe that said adding the Rind is absolutely okay it’s still going to taste delicious unfortunately it was not edible no amount of sugar I added to that jam with the Rind was going to make it edible so I am putting my BS on a different recipe Ree and I’m modifying

It a little bit um just taking off the Rind but also making sure that I am taking off as much of that white stuff I think it’s called the piff I’m not sure don’t quote me but anyways you know what I mean basically you want to have as

Much of the pure fruit as possible so what I did is I took off the Rind I took off most of the white stuff by my H with my hands but what I also did is I took the knife to cut into the fruit and remove just the fruit

Itself now here I’m showing you that I am trying to take the outer part the casing of the what would it call what would it be called the the wedge of the fruit um that casing it has to keep the fruit um intact in the little wedge that

Is what I was trying to do now this process is very very tedious so I’m not going to lie to you it’s not something easy you have to have a lot of patience and you definitely need to have time in order to do that if you don’t do that

Then your jam will be very bitter and you don’t want that you want it to be sweet and you want it to have the the taste of the fruit that you are doing the jam with so make sure that you take the time to remove as much of the Rind

And the piff as possible now after I did the first method that I just showed you I just said you know what this is going to take too much time so what I did is I cut the white part off just cut it off so that’s why you see this uh Mandarin a

Little more uh pure with not much of that white piff or that white part that the fruit has and this worked out absolutely great so instead of just peeling the fruit I actually cut it down a little bit deep so that I would get most of that white

Stuff that is protecting the fruit and this work out perfect I did all of the mandarins like that U making sure that I cut deep enough to remove the rine with the white PE uh piff I think that’s the name I don’t quote me I really don’t

Know but that’s what we’re going to call it all right friends let’s go ahead and put this together let’s make this Mandarin Jam the recipe calls for 12 mandarins peeled uh removing the Rind and the white stuff that I’m calling the piff and that makes about four cups of

Mandarin it also calls for half a cup of lemon juice it calls for one pack of pectin I use uh sureel surel no sureel yeah I think that’s what it’s called and 4 and 1/2 cups of sugar I will leave the recipe in the description box below the

First thing I’m going to do here is I am going to use my blender to blend the Mandarin because the jam has a little bit of texture so we’re going to use the blender to get that texture all right and again you want to blend it but you don’t want to liquefy

It because the the jam the beauty of it or what I think it’s beautiful is the texture that it has it has still little tiny pieces of the fruit so here I have already Blended the mandarins and now we’re going to measure out um it’s supposed to give us four

Cups and I can tell you that um all the 12 mandarins that I peeled it did not give me the four cups but even though it didn’t give me the four cups I still followed the recipe um as if it would have given me the four cups because I

Was just off by a little bit I W I wasn’t off by that much okay friends we’re ready to make some magic the recipe says that in a pot we are going to add our Mandarin that we did blend we’re going to add also some lemon juice here it

Is and we are also going to add that one pack of sure gel let me go ahead and get it for you and show you there we go sure gel is that what it’s called sure J whatever we’re going to add one pack of that

And we are going to make sure to mix it so it’s well incorporated into the Mandarin and the half a cup of lemon juice that we added so stir stir stir make sure that everything is well Incorporated and then once it has boiled we’re going to add our 4 and 1/2 cups of

Sugar and we’re also going to make sure to stir it really really really well and let that come to a rolling boil and here it is so it is absolutely done and I am so sorry I did not show me canning the jam that’s because I didn’t want to make

The video super long for you guys but I did go ahead and can the jam and the one that you see there with the white lid is because that’s the one that we are keeping to eat fresh um so I did share some with my brother and his wife and I

Did share some with my daughter’s partner and we have loved it so much out of all the little um drawers I have one left and believe me it is so delicious you guys if you have a mandarin tree or an excess the mandarins you definitely

Want to give this Jam a try it is so good so delicious and definitely way better than the first one I ever tried which was completely unedible but this one turned out so so good and after I did go ahead and let them cool down remove the Rings I put them away for

Storage the one with the white lid in the fridge yay we’re at the fun part this is where I will show you how I’m going to eat this Mandarin Jam first I’m going to cut this Bagel up this is a bagel that I made at my house from scratch and oh my

God those bagels were super delicious but anyways we’re here for the Mandarin Jam so I grabbed some cream cheese and I added cream cheese to the bagel The Bagel was nice and warm and fluffy and very delicious and here I have opened up a brand new um jar of Mandarin Jam

Because the one I had showed you before with the white lid we have completely finished that because it’s so delicious we have finished it so I am opening a new jar for you guys here to see me put it on this delicious Bagel the consist consistency of this Jam is so good The

Taste is absolutely delicious and the way it looks in the jar after canning oh my God is so pretty it is just so pretty the color the pieces of fruit that come through the jar oh my God it’s just so pretty and here well I am going to give

It a taste test for you I already know what the jam tastes like but I’m doing a taste test to tell you as I’m biting it it is so delicious oh my God you guys need to give this um Mandarin Jam a try it is so good and well guys that’s it
