Since childhood, the familiar taste of mandarins is associated with winter and New Year. It is a pity that these citrus fruits are seasonal in nature - they appear on sale with the onset of winter. Their benefits have been known for a long time: a large amount of vitamin C has a positive effect on the body. But there is an opportunity to enjoy your favorite fruit at any time of the year - to make tangerine jam, which preserves the useful properties of fresh fruits.
Before making jam from tangerines, they should be pre-processed: wash with a stiff brush and rinse with boiling water. The fact is that many suppliers cover the fruits with a thin layer of wax to improve their appearance.

After the slices have started juice, the fire is reduced to small and seasonings are added. Though the tangerines themselves are fragrant, but with a little cinnamon, star anise or vanilla sugar their taste will be richer and more saturated.
To obtain a not very thick consistency after reducing the fire, it is enough to boil for 15 minutes. Spices are also added after reducing the heat. If you want to have a thicker mass as a result, proceed as follows: let the jam cool and again bring it to a boil, kept on low heat for 6-8 minutes and again left to cool. After three such cycles, tangerine jam with slices will have the consistency of jam. Add spices in this case during the last final cooking.
White fibers and films inside the fruit have a bitter taste. To eliminate it, the slices are soaked in water for 12 hours. Then fill with water (per 1 kg of fruit about a glass of water) and bring to a boil. Pre-cooked regular sugar syrup. At the final stage, the soaked slices are boiled in syrup for a quarter of an hour. After cooling, the jam is ready for use or for long-term storage in a closed container.

Whole intact fruits are picked, pricked with a toothpick and blanched in water for a quarter of an hour. Then the tangerines are placed in cold water and soaked for 12 hours, replacing the water after 6 hours. After that, each fruit is cut into two equal parts along the "equator" and ordinary sugar syrup is prepared. While it is hot, they pour in halves, after cooling it is drained and again brought to a boil. The cycle of pouring in hot syrup halves of tangerines is repeated three times. The result is a healthy treat with a special aroma and taste of natural fruits.
