Zesty Orange Ginger Marmalade (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Marmalade mix
01 -
2½ cups (500g) jam sugar, using the 2:1 type
02 -
One chunk (2 inches) fresh ginger root
03 -
3 organic oranges
04 -
3 cups (800ml) fresh, unsweetened orange juice
# Instructions:
01 -
With everything still hot, ladle the marmalade into about 5 clean jars (each holds 12oz). Twist the lids on tight right away. Let them chill out until they're fully cooled down—usually best if they sit overnight.
02 -
Turn up the heat till your mix starts to boil. Stir every now and then. Give it a rolling boil for 3 minutes flat.
03 -
Slice the orange flesh into little bits. Tip them into your pot, along with the zest. Grate that chunk of ginger and throw that in too, plus all your jam sugar.
04 -
Pour the juice into a big heavy pot first. Scrub the oranges under hot water, dry them, then get all the zest off. Peel them, break them into pieces, and pick out any bits of white membrane.
# Notes:
01 -
Let your marmalade cool off all the way before messing with the jars. Leaving it overnight helps it set up and brings out the flavor.
