Orange Marmalade is one of the most favored of recent trending foods in the world. It is simple, it is quick, it tastes yummy. It is enjoyed by millions daily. Orange Marmalade is something that I’ve loved my entire life. They’re nice and they look wonderful.
To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have orange marmalade using 5 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Orange Marmalade:
- Prepare 1 kg oranges
- Make ready 2-3 lemons
- Take 1.8 kg sugar
- Make ready 2.25 litres water
- Make ready You will need:A large solid pan or preserving pan, 6 jam jars, some gauze or muslin, and a couple of saucers in the fridge (for testing when the marmalade is done)
Homemade orange marmalade is a wonderful combination of sweet and bitter. Scoop the pips and pulp into a sieve over the pan and squeeze out as much juice as possible, then tie the pulp and pips in the muslin. Then cut the lemon and oranges in half (discarding any bits of stalk) and squeeze the juice out of them (if you intend to make lots of marmalade an electric citrus squeezer makes light work of this). Orange marmalade aficionados love them for their bitter and coarse peel, as well as their intense flavor in the marmalade.
Instructions to make Orange Marmalade:
- Put the water in the preserving pan. Cut the oranges and lemons in half.
- Place gauze over a small bowl. Squeeze the juice from the fruit and place any pips and pith on the gauze (you will need these to help the marmalade set). Put the juices in the pan with the water.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the orange peel into thin shreds. any more pips and pith should be separated and added to the gauze.
- Tie up the pips in the gauze so that they won’t leak out - it will look like a little bag. tie the bag to the side of the pan so it is in the mixture. (you can use string but I just cut the top of the gauze to make a tie).
- Simmer for about 1.5-2 hours until the peel is soft. Test by cooling a piece and squeezing with finger and thumb.
- Remove the gauze bag to a small bowl to cool. Do not open or throw away. Pour the sugar into the pan and stir on low heat to make sure all the sugar dissolves before you go to the next step. Do not start boiling until all the sugar has dissolved.
- Increase heat to high and boil rapidly for 15-20 minutes. Hold the the gauze bag over the pan and squeeze to extract the remaining sticky pectin -this helps with setting.Take care as the pan contents will be very hot.
- Get ready to test the marmalade with the cold saucers in the fridge. The marmalade is at setting point when a small spoonful of hot mixture on a cold saucer starts to ‘ crinkle’. For me this was at about 20 minutes.
- Cool The marmalade mixture for 15-20 minutes. Warm your clean jam jars in a low oven(100 degrees C) for about 10 minutes and then add the marmalade - I used a ladle. Cover with some greaseproof paper and put the lid on while still warm. Leave to cool and store.
Then cut the lemon and oranges in half (discarding any bits of stalk) and squeeze the juice out of them (if you intend to make lots of marmalade an electric citrus squeezer makes light work of this). Orange marmalade aficionados love them for their bitter and coarse peel, as well as their intense flavor in the marmalade. This easy marmalade recipe is on the sweeter side–it uses oranges and lemons to mimic the bitterness of Seville oranges. If you like your marmalade not bitter, this is the recipe to try. Cut the orange in half, cut each half in about eight sections.
