Ingredients
Method
Scrub fruit, put whole into a pan of boiling water with 1.25 ltrs of water. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 2.5 hours until can pierce easily with a knife.
When cool, take out and measure cooking water – should be 850ml – make up to this amount if less.
Cut oranges in half, remove pips with a fork and putting in a bowl, strain juice from pips into cooking pot – discard pips.
Cut orange peel and flesh into thick, medium or thin shreds, add lemon juice, cook for 5 minutes before adding the sugar and bring to the boil – rolling boil 105 C for 10-15 mins until setting point achieved, a little longer for a darker, more unctuous marmalade.
Check temp, saucer test.
Leave to cool for 10 mins before jarring – can add 25ml of whiskey.
