"as featured on BBC WM Food of a Friday" Ingredients 1.5 kg of Seville Oranges 2 Whole Lemons 3.5 litres of Water 3 kg of Granulated Sugar Method
1. First wash the Oranges & Lemons. 2. Then Half the Oranges & Lemons,Squeeze the juice from the Oranges & Lemons into a saucepan (big enough to cook your marmalade in), keep the orange peel, but throw the lemon peel away. 3. Slice the orange peel to the thickness you would like. 4. Put the orange peel into the saucepan with the orange juice and the water and then simmer gently for 2-3 hours, until the zest is soft. 5. Add the Granuated Sugar to the Orange Juice, Water & Zest Mixture in your Saucepan, Boil rapidly for at least 5 minutes, then test for a set. (see testing for a set information below) 6. Before potting leave for 10 minutes to stand, and then stir well to mix the zest through the marmalade. 7. Then sterlised some glass jars in the oven & pour in your marmalade. Please note that when boiling a frothy scum will come to the top of the pan, ensure you scrap this off with a spoon.
Testing for a Marmalade/Preserve/Jam Set.
I recommend putting a plate in the fridge when you start making your Marmalade, Preserve or Jam, when you have rapidly boiled what you are making, pour some of the mix onto the cold plate, & then pop back in the fridge for a couple of minutes, as this cool the mix quickly, you will soon know whether its set.
