Absolutely Fail-Proof Easy Marmalade

Recipe #63706 | 30 min | 10 min prep

This recipe was printed in the Jerusalem Post last week, and it's from Lynette Levius of Netanya, Israel. I haven't tried it yet, but plan to make a batch this weekend. February 2010: Since posting this recipe I've made it several times each winter (winter is citrus seaon here). It's a wonderful recipe, totally fail-proof as the title says. It's great on toast and makes a wonderful gift. I especially love a 50/50 orange/clementine mix, a rich citrus flavor with an intense orange color.

5 jars (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Take the 6 citrus fruits and wash well, removing any blemishes.
  2. 2
    Cut into quarters, and place in a food processor.
  3. 3
    Chop until finely ground, skin and all.
  4. 4
    For an optional extra add some crystallized ginger.
  5. 5
    Boil with the 1 kilo of sugar, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, for 20 minutes.
  6. 6
    It splatters, so be careful.
  7. 7
    This quantity fills about 5 x 340 gram jars.
  8. 8
    Do not double the ingredients, rather make two batches.
  9. 9
    It never goes dark and lasts for up to 6 months in the refrigerator without the need to sterilize the bottles.

This is a brilliant recipe! I used 6 oranges and squeezed in a lemon too. Instead of using a food processor, I thinly sliced the oranges and then cut them in quarters, a bit tedious doing by hand but worth it! The Marmalade had the right amount of sweetness/bitterness to it. We loved it! Thank you so much, Mirj, for sharing this wonderful recipe, this one is definitely a keeper!

    Excellent recipe. I'm always busy so this recipe suits me perfectly. The marmalade tastes delicious and the six jars I made are already eaten/given away. I did have to use a blender as my food processor has broken but it worked perfectly.

    Wonderful! I loved it. I think I would use a little less of the orange peel next time--instead of 6 oranges with peel, I would use 6 oranges and peel 3 of them. Just my taste. Nice consistancy. Thanks!

    This recipe works well but the key is getting the pieces really small. The skin can make the marmalad a bit tart but it also gives more depth of flavour. I made this using grapefruit, mandarin and lime and the marmalade has already been attacked despire only making it this morning. It also works well on the jam setting of a bread machine although the amount is a bit less.
