WW2 Orange Jam 1940’s Ration Style

1940s ‘Ration Style’ Orange jam.

This is a family wartime recipe that really packs a serious citrus punch & made the “treat” of orange last.

When my Grandmother created this she hadn’t realised just how popular a jam it would become, with her neighbours willingly sharing their precious orange shells and sugar ration with her, in order to have this lovely flavoured jam. It was even served in sandwiches, to child evacuees who were sent to north Wales in order to escape the horrors of the bombing from neighbouring cities on their arrival.

Makes a great gift, or is just as wonderful on a crumpet
