Clementine Marmalade With Only 2 Ingredients Recipes

CLEMENTINE MARMALADE RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash the oranges and lemons, discarding any stickers before doing so.
• Slice the oranges thinly - about 1/8 inch. You can do this with a knife or a mandoline, or - as I did - cut the oranges in half, then put them through the food processor slicing disk.
• Once sliced, cut each round into 4-5 pieces, place in a large pot.
• Zest and juice the lemon. Add juices and zests to the pot, along with the water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Once water comes to a hard boil, reduce heat and simmer for around 45 minutes, or until the orange rinds are very tender.
• Add sugar, stir well to dissolve.
• Turn the temperature back up, bring the mixture up to a boil.
• Continue to boil, stirring constantly until it reaches between 220-224 F on a candy thermometer - about 15-20 minutes.
• Ladle into hot, sterilized canning jars - have about 10 jam jars ready.
• Use a clean, wet paper towel to wipe down the top of each jar.
• Affix sterilized lids and rims, and process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. (Add 5 minutes for altitudes above 1,000 feet; add 10 minutes for altitudes over 6,000 feet.)
• Allow to cool overnight.
• Check all lids for a proper seal: they should have sucked down into a vacuum seal as the jars cooled.
• Store properly sealed jars for later use; refrigerate any that did not seal for use in the coming weeks.

CLEMENTINE MARMALADE RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash and dry the fruit, and cut in halves or quarters.
• Set a sieve over a bowl and line it with a large double layer of muslin.
• Working over the sieve, juice the fruit, scouring the shells as you go, and dropping the pips, squeezed flesh and membranes into the cloth. In the case of loose skinned citrus such as clementines it is easier to quarter them, use a teaspoon inserted between the skin and the flesh to pick up a strip of membrane large enough to grip, then use your fingers to tear out the interior of the fruit, leaving a tidy shell.
• Reserve the juice squeezed from the fruit.
• Tie all the residue into a loose bag and put it in a preserving pan with the apple juice and water.
• Shred the skins as finely as you like and add the peel to the pan. Leave to soak for several hours or, better still, overnight.
• Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered until the peel is meltingly tender and the liquid has reduced by half - usually about 2 hours, but sometimes more. Cover the pan if too much evaporation is occurring before the peel is tender.
• Remove the bag of pips and bits and squeeze the liquid out of it back into the pan. Discard the contents of the bag.
• Add the sugar to the pan, plus the reserved juice and lemon juice.
• Bring slowly to the boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved completely. Raise the heat and boil hard until setting point is reached, usually about 10 minutes. Allow to cool and thicken a little before stirring the clementine marmalade to re-distribute the peel, before potting in sterilised jars.

CLEMENTINE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Scrub & rinse clementines, place in water in a large soup pot (NOT aluminum).
• Squeeze lemon - reserve juice. Bundle the lemon seeds with cheesecloth and tie it off. Add bundle of seeds and the halved lemon to pot.
• Cover the pot and simmer for 2-3 hours until fruit is soft.
• Remove pot from heat, cool overnight; discard bundle of lemon seeds, do not strain liquid.
• Scoop fruit out of the liquid into a large bowl. Halve the clementines, scoop pulp and seeds (if any) into a strainer set over the pot that was used to boil the fruit. Save all peels. Rub pulp through strainer.
• Add sugar and lemon juice to pot. Heat gently, stirring until sugar dissolves, then boil for a few minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely slice clementine peel then stir into boiling sugar-lemon syrup. Continue boiling until marmalade reaches setting point (220*F at sea level) then remove pot from heat, skim foam, and let pot sit for 10-15 minutes to distribute peel evenly.
• Fill hot, sterilized jars; seal with two-part lids; process in boiling-water bath for 15 minutes (sea level).
• Label jars; store in cool, dark place.
• SUGGESTION: Use small decorative jars and make Gift Baskets (along with other kitchen preserves or mixes).

BEST CLEMENTINE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Scrub & rinse clementines, place in enough water (about 5 cups) to cover in a large non-aluminum soup pot.
• Squeeze lemon - reserve juice. Bundle the lemon seeds with cheesecloth and tie it off. Add bundle of seeds and the halved lemon to pot.
• Cover the pot and simmer for 2-3 hours until fruit is soft. Keep checking to make sure the water does not completely evaporate, add more if needed as the bottom will scorch and ruin the recipe.
• Remove pot from heat, cool overnight; discard bundle of lemon seeds, strain liquid.
• Halve the clementines, scoop pulp into a blender or food processor. Set aside peels.
• In a blender or food processor, blend clementine pulp on medium-high for 40 seconds or until smooth.
• Add sugar, blended pulp, remaining four cups of water and the reserved lemon juice to pot. Heat gently, stirring until sugar dissolves, then boil for a few minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely slice clementine peel then stir into boiling marmalade mixture. Continue boiling until marmalade reaches setting point (220°F at sea level) then remove pot from heat, skim foam, and let pot sit for 10-15 minutes to distribute peel evenly. SEE NOTES.
• Fill hot, sterilized jars; seal tightly with two-part lids; process in boiling-water bath for 15 minutes (sea level). You should hear occasional popping as the filled jars cool and the lids invert.
• Label jars; store in cool, dark place.
• Note: Reaching the setting point may take some time, often 20min or more. To test the marmalade, put a drop on a plate and set in freezer until it's at room temperature (only a minute or so) and take it out, if it's jelly-like and not runny you've got it, this is especially helpful if you're not at sea level plus or minus 2,000ft.
• Note Note: While boiling the marmalade mixture, use the longest spoon you have, stir very often but gently because you don't want hot sugary mix to burn you. Sugary mixtures retain heat longer and the burn can be quite intense.
