Remove the orange and lemon peel, and you can use a vegetable peeler or a knife. If any of the white part of the orange peel remains, it should be removed, as this will give the jam an unwanted flavor and spongy texture. Oranges and lemons are cut in half and then thin slices. The inner seeds of the oranges and lemons should be removed because they give them a bitter taste. You can add a spoonful of cinnamon or ginger to the sugar to give an additional flavor to the jam, as desired, then add the sugar to the orange and lemon slices and leave a few hours, or you can do this step at night, leave it until the morning. Put orange slices, lemon and sugar in a cooking pot and add orange peel as well and raise over the stove. Reduce the temperature after the jam mixture boils and must be stirred every few minutes for a period of time.
