Steps to follow:
1
The elaboration of the tangerine jam It is very, very simple. The first thing you should do is peel all the tangerines (except 2) and remove all the seeds inside, as well as as much as possible of the white fibers that are attached to each of its segments. It is best to leave the mandarins as clean as possible.

Next, take the 2 tangerines that you have not peeled and grates your skin or remove it and then cut it into strips, whichever you prefer. The grated skin of these tangerines will serve to give a special decorative touch to the jelly, as well as a much more intense aroma of mandarin. Do not forget to also leave the segments of these mandarins completely clean.
3
Place all the mandarin segments in a fairly wide and large pot, add the sugar and the juice of a lemon, which you must have previously extracted with the help of a juicer. Keep in mind that in this recipe we have recommended adding half the sugar with respect to the weight of the amount of fruit used, but you can modify the amounts depending on whether you prefer to obtain a more or less sweet jam.

Turn the heat to a medium temperature and let everything cook until you see that the sugar has dissolved properly. This process will take approximately 10 minutes, and after that time lower the heat a little so that everyone the ingredients are cooked for at least 30 or 45 minutes and they finish integrating with each other. Stir the mixture from time to time to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
