[Misc] Marmalade - what’s your recipe?

[Goldstone1976]

Mine’s a bastardised version of Nigelllllll Slater’s.

11 Seville oranges
1 sweet orange
2 lemons
1 lime
1.25kg of unrefined granulated sugar.

Peel all fruit. Slice peel into chunks of desired thickness. Juice all fruit into bowl, reserving all pulp and pips. Make juice up to 4l with water, put chunks of rind into it and store for 24 hours. Put pulp and pips into muslin.

24 hours later - push muslin bag under surface of liquid, and hot simmer for about 45 mins (until peel is soft). Remove muslin bag, squeeze it tightly and put anything that comes out into the liquid. Add sugar. Bring to rolling boil and wait until it’s at setting point.

Leave for 20-30 mins. Pour into jars.

Makes ~6lbs. So I multiply by 3.

Recipe? Ok ... (Three easy stages)

1 - Go to supermarket
2 - Buy jar of marmalade. Either Roses Lime or something thick cut if it's orange.
3 - Come home

Quirky fact: the word 'marmalade' derives from its Scottish origins, where housewives would ask their children/husbands/milkmen if they wanted "more, ma lad?" Beats me how the Scots were able to get hold of oranges in Victorian times.

Beat me to it but not Roses lime

I usually make two sorts... Three fruits (Seville/Grapefruit/Lemon) fairly pale colour and with very finely shredded peel, and then a dark and chunky Seville only version.

In Brazilian Portuguese marmalade (Marmalada)
means “A complete balls up”.....

Very similar but very important after adding sugar simmer gently until sugar has dissolved completly THEN boil. if you dont do this the marmalade will be very grainy.

Sounds really easy and satisfying to make. A real sense of achievement.

I'd probably burn down the kitchen and lose an eye in the process sadly.

 

[Yes Chef]

Anybody know the difference between jam and marmalade?

 

[NooBHA]

A friend of mine makes her own. Waste of time if you ask me.

Every time she visits me she brings me a jar of it and every time i move house each and every one of them gets thrown in the bin.

Anybody know the difference between jam and marmalade?

you can't marmalade your dick up a girls bum?

or

Conserves are a lot like jam but are made from combining fruit and sometimes raisins, nuts, and coconut. Marmalades are usually made of citrus fruits and contain pieces of the peel suspended in a transparent jelly. Fruit butter utilizes the pulp of the fruit, cooked with sugar into a thick spreadable mixture.

Yeah, just the first one

Conserves, transparent jelly, whatever

 

[jackanada]

2lbs Seville oranges, 2 lemons, 2lbs sugar. I think.

Quite like some grapefruit and a bit of shredded candied ginger added late on for a variation

Really fancy some marmite toast with cheese now.

This is a traditional Scottish Recipe



***********************************************************************************************************************************
JANE’S MUM’S MARMALADE

2 lb Seville oranges
2 lemons
9 lb sugar
7 pints of water + ½ pint water

In a small pot – add ½ pt water + juice ( and pips and and pith ) from all of the fruit . Boil for 30mins.

In jam pan add finely chopped peel of fruit + 7 pints water. Sieve the contents of the small pot and push through with a spoon. Try to get as much through the sieve as possible as this is the main source of pectin.

Soak fruit overnight (with the contents of the small pot through sieve)

Bring fruit to boil and add sugar.

Boil for at least 60mins or until forms a soft skin after cooling on a plate in the fridge.

Should make around 15lbs of marmalade

***********************************************************************************************************************************

I have made 30lbs so far this year. The longer you leave it the darker and more nutty the taste. Add pectin if you like it really jelly like.

I have about 3kg of home grown small oranges that are seriously bitter and plan next week to make the above with a trivet of shredded fresh ginger inserted into the overnight soak.

Love it me.....
