Orange Marmalade
One serving has 53 kcal. Ready in 60 minutes.
- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (31 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Low carb
Ingredients
- 12 g Oranges, raw
- 2 g Lemon juice
- 12 g Sugar
- 5 g Water
Method
- Halve the orange, slice it thinly (peel and all), and pick out the pips.
- Put the orange slices in a pan with the water and lemon juice, bring to a simmer, and cook gently for 30-40 minutes until the peel is completely soft.
- Add the sugar and stir over low heat until fully dissolved.
- Raise the heat and boil rapidly for 15-20 minutes, until the setting point is reached: a spoonful wrinkles when pushed on a chilled plate, or it reads 104°C (220°F).
- Skim off any foam from the surface, then ladle the hot marmalade into a clean, sterilised jar and seal while still hot.
- Let it cool and set before serving; this makes about 1 serving (roughly a tablespoon), so multiply the orange, sugar, lemon juice and water by about 40 for a standard batch of jars.
