Lemon-Orange Marmalade

Created by All Foods Natural, Wednesday, 12 December 2007

Description

Marmalade is very easy to prepare home and orange marmalade is one of the all time favorites as the acidity from the orange is a perfect contrast for the sweetness of the sugar.

2 cups orange, sliced very thinly, quartered and seeds removed; about 2-3 medium sized
1½ cups lemon, sliced very thin, quartered and seeds removed, about 2 medium lemons
6 cups water
7 cups sugar

Methods/steps

In an 8 qt saucepan, mix together the orange and lemon slices with the water, bring to a boil and rapidly cook until the peels are very soft -30 minutes.
Measure out the cooked fruit and add 1 cup sugar to every 1 cup fruit and liquid. Stirring frequently, bring mix to a boil and cook until thickened to a jelly. Skim off any foam.
Pour into jars once done, about 7 half pints jars.

Additional Tips

There is sugar with pectin for jams and marmalades. it helps to reach the jellying point faster, especially for fruits with low pectin levels. if you don't have it, use citrus fruits. Citrus fruits have pectin also in the rind and white pith, place them in a cheesecloth and add them to the saucepan for extra pectin. Retire once cooked.
