Melissa's Notes:

Found some wonderful Blood Oranges and Kumquats at a Farmers Market...I thought this would be lovely and it really was easy and tasty!

 

Directions

1
Wash and dry all fruit.
2
using a mandolin slice oranges, kumquats to 1/8 inch, removing seeds as you go. Stack and slice in quarters (or so that the peels are about 1/2 to 1 inch long). Place orange and kumquat in LARGE pot with water and allow to rest for 1 hour. Place small plate in freezer.
3
Slice strawberries to 1/8 inch and smash EXTRA CHUNKY. Add to water mixture and bring to full boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 40 minutes stirring often.
4
Bring back to boil, add sugar and continue to boil until temperature reaches 222F. This will take about 15 - 20 minutes. To check for doneness, drip about 1 TBSP on frozen plate. Wait about 30-45 seconds. If it starts to gel, it is done. If not, cook for a bit longer or until temp reaches 224.
5
Meanwhile, while you're waiting for the temp to get to 222, prep your mason jars and lids (I used 4 1/2 8 ounce jars...Just prep more than you think you'll need) in boiling water. Remove jars, lids and rings from water and drain on towel until ready to use.
6
Fill jars to just to the bottom of the rings, place lids on and set on counter to cool for at least 12 hours.
7
Will last for 6 months in cool dark place, with lids sealed. Once opened, store in refrigerator for up to 2 months.

Melissa, I really like to make different jellies, jams, preserves and marmalades. I like this one because it is different and makes a pretty presentation. I will have to put this on my list to try when I get in the preserves, etc., making and canning mood. Thanks for posting.

Pat, as blood Orange season just ended, you can substitute regular oranges when you try this. But be sure they are extra sweet. :-D
You'll be glad you tried this.

Thanks, Melissa. I did try to find some at one of the local grocery stores. If I can't find them at Fresh Market (who have many fruits you can't find at Kroger, Bi-Lo, Publix,etc). I may wait until I can get them again. However, if I try it with regular oranges, I'll let you know how it turns out.
