If you, like Paddington Bear, are a fan of orange marmalade, then you'll want to give this stovetop recipe a try.

Ingredients

2 naval oranges
2 cups sugar
1/8 tsp. ground cloves

Directions

1. Step 1Remove orange rinds with a vegetable peeler or sharp chef’s knife (leaving pith behind). Slice into 1/8-inch-wide strips. (You should have about 1/2 cup rind.) Cut top and bottom ends off oranges and remove white pith; discard pith. Working over a medium saucepan, cut between membranes to remove orange segments into the pan. Squeeze membranes to release juices; discard membranes. Add rind, sugar, cloves, and 1 3/4 cups water to saucepan.
2. Step 2Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until temperature on an instant-read thermometer reads 220°F, 30 to 35 minutes.
3. Step 3Cool to room temperature then transfer to a pint jar. Refrigerate up to 1 week.

Tip Before cooling, spoon a teaspoon of marmalade onto a small plate and freeze for 5 minutes. If mixture is too runny, cook an additional 5 minutes. If too thick, stir in 2 tablespoons water to thin.
