This, my first attempt, produced a fantastic result. My medication prevents me from enjoying my Grapefruit marmalade. Now, there are no limitations to the amount of marmalade I can smear on my Burgen toast. So delicious, so satisfying! It took an afternoon to make it and oh the mess. But it was a totally worth it!
For making - I followed the sellers instructions.
- Cut oranges into quarters, remove seeds and these put into a muslin bag.
- Weigh fruit.
- Weigh an equal amount of sugar and set aside.
- Place fruit and seed bag into a large pot and (just) cover with water.
- Boil for about 30 minutes, by then the skins should be soft.
- Cool, remove muslin bag - then toss fruit into a processor and pulse into little pieces.
- Watch this step as you don't want to process to mush, it should be just chunky.
- Place fruit back into pot and bring back to boil.
- Add equal amounts of sugar to fruit. (Or less if you like it more bitter).
- Stir gently to combine. Bring back to boil.
- Boil mixture for about 20 minutes (watch it doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan) and start testing for setting.
- Boil until set.
- Cool, put into sterilised jars seal when cool.
