Ingredients:

• 12 tangerines, peeled and segmented
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup tequila

In a large bowl, mix together the tangerine segments and granulated sugar

Allow the sugar to extract the tangerine juices by letting them macerate for an hour

Pour the tangerine mixture into a saucepan with a heavy bottom, then squeeze in the lemon juice and tequila

Mix thoroughly

Transfer the mixture to a boiling point by placing the saucepan over medium-high heat

Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer for thirty to forty minutes, or until the consistency of the mixture reaches your desired thickness

Stir from time to time

After taking the saucepan off of the burner, add the vanilla extract and stir

Leaving a 1/4-inch headspace at the top of each jar, carefully pour the hot marmalade into the sterilized jars

Put the lids on the jars firmly

To make sure the sealed jars are properly sealed and preserved, process them in a boiling water bath for ten minutes

Let the marmalade cool fully before storing it in a dark, cool location
