Marmalade Recipes

( Please see the sections on "Hints"  and Conversion Tables )

  Marmalades are jams which always include a citrus fruit and usually have rind suspended in the mixture. Citrus fruits are rich in pectin, so there is rarely any trouble getting these jams to set. 

         Cut unpeeled fruit in halves. Cut halves into thin slices and discard the seeds. Combine the fruit and water in a large bowl, cover, and stand overnight.

        Place the fruit mixture in a large saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer, covered for about 45 minutes or until rind is soft.

        Measure the fruit mixture, and allow 1 cup of sugar for each cup of fruit mixture. Return the fruit mixture to the pan, add the sugar, and stir over the heat , without boiling, until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to the boil and boil, uncovered, and without stirring, for about 15 minutes, or until the marmalade jells when tested. Pour into hot sterilized jars, and seal when cold.

Makes about ten cups.
