Satsuma Overload

se999

I know you can buy Satsuma and Mandarin marmalade, but couldn't find a specific recipe. So I assume you'd just use a normal marmalade recipe.

I always like satsuma's and mandarins with fresh natural yoghurt for breakfast.

I had this problem a few days ago with a batch of very pippy clementines.I made them into jelly.Dessert-type wobbly jelly not jam jelly
Sqeeze all the juice,add sugar if too tart.One sachet of gelatine powder sets one pint of juice,just follow the instructions on the packet-v.easy honestly.

Mandarin Tart, you can buy a pastry flan case or make your own, arrange the segments around the flan, make up a packet of quick gel and pour over, leave to set, delicious with ice cream or cream, you can freeze them too!

Or Ice Cream sponge cake, make a sponge cake in a loaf tin, make up an orange syrup using some rind off the mandarin, some brown sugar and water, then heat gently, strain the syrup to get rid of the rind. add the syrup to some vanilla ice cream and mix in, leave the ice cream out to get to a sloppy but not runny consistency. Line an oblong tin with cling film, add a layer of sponge cake, some mandarin segments and some ice cream continue to layer until no sponge left, then wrap in cling film and freeze, serve at your lesiure.

I have around satsumas which are on the turn - too bad to just eat raw, really dont want to chuck them out, cant even put them on the compost.

any ideas?

There are some earlier threads which might be useful (ok, too late for this time probably, but if you ever have the same problem, you'll have ideas on how to use them up)

Satsuma Overload

12 Organic Oranges, any ideas? (Ok, not satsumas but, interesting ideas which can be adapted and in that thread, it links off to another couple of ideas/recipe)

my local fruit shop which was really bad has been getting so much better lately. anyway they now delivery. so u can go and buy what u want ( no min spend) and they deliver for 50p. fantastic.

well they had trays of satsumas which were going over for 50p. :j guess how many 14lb worth. anyway i got just under 8lb left. as went through them and these are the only ones which weren't totally gone.

i have done a search on forum threads and found some good ideas.

Hi
Can't help with recipies, but jam jars without lids are easy- buy a pack of what I think are called "jam pot covers" or similar- celophane circles, greaspoof circles and elastic bands- drop the greaspoof circle on the jam whilst hot- then damp the sellophane and stretch it over the neck of the bottle, holding it on with the rubber band- There you go! When they cool you have a seated jar with a cellophane top tight as a drum!

It says clementines but I'm sure satsumas will work. Make a couple and freeze them
