Orange Marmalade Recipe Quick

EASY ORANGE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Select Navel oranges that have the thinnest peel.
• If the orange is large double the amount of water and sugar.
• Wash the orange thoroughly.
• Cut off both ends of the orange.
• Cut the orange in half, cut each half in about eight sections.
• Place the orange sections in the food processor and pulse until the peel in is tiny pieces.
• In a medium saucepan place the processed orange, the water and the sugar and bring to a gentle boil.
• Boil for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Let cool, then place in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid.
• Refrigerate to store.
• When it is cold it is ready to eat.
• I use 1/2 sugar and 1/2 Splenda and it works well.

ORANGE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Wash the oranges and lemon thoroughly. Cut the oranges into 1/8-inch slices using a mandoline, removing the seeds as you go. Stack the orange slices and cut them into quarters. Place the oranges into an 8-quart stainless steel pot. Add the lemon zest and juice and the water to the pot, set over high heat and bring to a boil, approximately 10 minutes. Once boiling, reduce the heat to maintain a rapid simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for 40 minutes or until the fruit is very soft.
• While the fruit is cooking, fill a large pot (at least 12-quart) 3/4 full with water, set over high heat and bring to a boil. Place 10 (8-ounce) jars and rings, canning funnel, ladle, and tongs into the boiling water and make sure the water covers the jars by at least an inch. Boil for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the lids and leave everything in the pot until the marmalade is ready.
• Meanwhile, place a small plate in the freezer. Increase the heat under the orange mixture to return to full boil. Add the sugar and stir the mixture continually, until it reaches 222 to 223 degrees F on a deep-fry or candy thermometer, and darkens in color, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. You may need to adjust the heat in order to prevent boil over. Test the readiness of the marmalade by placing a teaspoon of the mixture onto the chilled plate and allowing it to sit for 30 seconds. Tilt the plate. The mixture should be a soft gel that moves slightly. If mixture is thin and runs easily, it is not ready.
• Remove jars from the water and drain on a clean towel. Place a canning funnel onto the top of 1 of the jars and ladle in the marmalade just to below the bottom of the threads of the jar. Repeat until all of the mixture has been used. The amount of marmalade may vary by 1 to 2 jars. Wipe the rims and threads of the jars with a moist paper towel and top each with a lid. Place a ring on each jar and tighten.
• Return the jars to the pot with boiling water, being certain that they don't touch the bottom of the pot or each other. (If you don't have a jar rack, try a round cake rack, or metal mesh basket. Even a folded kitchen towel on the pot bottom will do in a pinch.) Add additional water if necessary to cover the jars by at least an inch. Boil for 10 minutes. Using canning tongs, carefully remove the jars from the water, place in a cool dry place and allow to sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours before opening. Once open, store in the refrigerator. Unopened marmalade will last for up to 6 months.

ABSOLUTELY FAIL-PROOF EASY MARMALADE

Steps:

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

ORANGE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Rinse oranges under hot water. Quarter oranges lengthwise; slice crosswise as thinly as possible with a sharp knife.
• Bring the orange slices, orange and lemon juices, and 6 cups water to a boil in a large nonreactive saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until orange peels are translucent and tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Stir in sugar. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Continue cooking, stirring often and skimming foam from surface with a slotted spoon, until mixture is set and registers 220 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 15 minutes. (To test if the marmalade has set, place a small amount on a well-chilled plate. Press gently with your finger; marmalade should wrinkle. If it doesn't, continue to simmer, 5 to 10 minutes more. Test again; repeat as needed.)
• Let cool, then transfer to an airtight container. (Alternatively, transfer marmalade to sterilized canning jars and process according to the jar manufacturer's instructions.)

SHORTCUT SEVILLE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Boil the whole oranges in 2 litres water until very soft - it will take about 2 hrs. Pour the liquid into a preserving pan or a large saucepan.
• Cut the oranges into wedges, flick out the pips with the point of a knife then gently squeeze the wedges over the pan as they'll be very juicy. Thinly slice them, then add to the pan with jam sugar. Dissolve over the heat then boil for 7-10 mins, stirring occasionally, until a little of the mixture dropped onto a chilled plate sets and wrinkles when you push your finger through. Leave to settle for 15 mins before potting into sterilised jars.

ORANGE MARMALADE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Season drumsticks with salt and pepper and place in an oven-proof dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• Combine orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, barbeque sauce, sambal oelek, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
• Remove dish from oven and brush chicken with marmalade mixture. Return to the oven and bake an additional 10 minutes.
• Remove dish again, turn chicken over, brush with marmalade mixture, and continue baking until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove dish from oven and baste chicken with remaining marmalade mixture. Preheat the oven's broiler. Return to the oven and broil until chicken starts to blacken and blister, 3 to 5 minutes.
