Peel and finely chop the mandarins and oranges, removing the pips. Slice the ginger, including the peel, and add to the fruit mixture. Scrape out the vanilla pod and add the vanilla seeds to the fruit mixture. Reserve the pod. Place the mixture in a saucepan with the gelling sugar and stir to combine, then puree until the desired chunks are reached. Add the scraped vanilla pod and let the mixture rest for about 30 minutes. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, and simmer for about 15 minutes, skimming off any foam that forms. The time may vary depending on the gelling sugar, so check the setting time occasionally to see if the jam has reached the desired consistency. Follow the preparation instructions for your gelling sugar. If the setting test is successful, pour the hot jam into the prepared jars, which have been rinsed with boiling water. Immediately close the jars and turn them upside down for 5 minutes. Let the jars cool and label them with the date.
