Great, thanks for the reminder - lets have your marmalade recipe then ;D ;D
I've never made it. It is easy enough?When life hands you a lemon, make sure you ask for tequilla and salt0 -
im about to make some marmalade but unsure how long it keeps for, does anyone know please0

I'm waiting for them to arrive
I make mine in the slow cooker saves standing over a hot stove and softens the peel well. Should keep all year I usually keep my last jar to open for christmas.
Make sure you sterilize the jars and seal making the lids airtight; mine sit in the kitchen cooling and as they do so the centre button 'pings' down so you know they a sealed just as the shop ones are
good luck0 -
I still have some from last year. I follow the recipe in Delia's book. Don't do what I did last year and double up on the quantities. As Delia says, you can't get the temperature high enough to boil it well so instead if about 15 mins, mine took 45 mins to thicken. This meant it has gone really thick and strong. Still tastes great, but too strong for kids.
What's the recipe for the Slow-cooker one? I can't find my recipe book but would love to give that one a go ;D0 -
usual quantities
cut out the pith and pips etc bring to the boil or pressure cook separately and leave to stand overnight. drain this thro a jelly bag. slice up the peel thinly and cover with water in the slow cooker overnight till tender. add two together discarding the jellybag remains bring to the boil and add the sugar stir well and boil till setting point reached good luck I just adapted and orinary receipe works well and discarding all the pith gives a better flavour and clearer jelly some people put it in but I prefer not to ( W.I trained see othe string)0 -
You are all so good using real oranges as I have only ever used those large tins called Mamade I think! Just add sugar! Very easy to make tho and still cheaper than buying it readymade.Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.
