Marmalade Recipe

Post: # 216255Post okra »

We were in the village yesterday and a kind old couple gave us a bag of freshly picked oranges from their tree in the garden. So today we had a go at making marmalade and it turned out scrumptous.

The recipe is as follows if anybody wants to have a go

A simple and straightforward recipe which we cobbled together after a few alterations to recipes we found. The blending after food processing has improved the consisitency

Ingredients: 9 medium sized oranges, 2 lemons and 1.5kg of sugar



(1) Wash fruit and cut out any blemishes and peel thinly leaving the pulp on the fruit.
(2) Remove as much of the pulp as possible and quarter the fruit.
(3) Place the quartered fruit in a food processor and then into a blender.
(4) Thinly slice the peel.
(5) Place the fruit and thinly sliced peel into the pan and add the sugar.
(6) Bring to the boil for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
(7) After 20 minutes check for setting by placing a small amount on a cold plate for a few minutes.
(8) Pour, whilst still hot, into sterilised jars and put on the lids.
(9) Once cooled, label, clean and store in a dark but cool area and use within 6 months but once
opened keep in the fridge. :flower: :flower: :flower: :flower:
