ORANGE-GRAPEFRUIT MARMALADE WITH GINGER

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     dessert

Time P1DT2h35m

Yield 1 pint

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 oranges
1 grapefruit
3 cups sugar
2 ounces crystallized ginger, cut in strips
1 box Fruit Pectin Powder, (1-ounce)

Steps:

  • Cut fruit in half, squeeze out juice and pulp, discard seeds. The volume of this should be approximately 4 cups. Remove zest, this should yield approximately 1/2 cup. Transfer juice, pulp and zest to a large glass bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. This helps the peel to soften.
  • After soaking, put the citrus in a large stockpot. Add 6 cups of water, simmer for 1 1/2 hours. A sample of the peel should feel quite tender if rubbed between fingers. Add sugar and ginger. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Boil hard for 20 minutes until sugar is dissolved and mixture is thickened. If the mixture foams up, add a pat of butter and the froth will subside.
  • Test for jell-point: drop a small amount of hot marmalade on a chilled plate. Return to the freezer for 1 minute. If surface forms a skin, it has reached jelling point, if still syrupy, continue cooking and test again in 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, stir in pectin. Cool for 15 minutes, spoon into half-pint sterilized jars leaving 1/4-inch headspace and seal.
  • ** Recipe Note: Traditionally the citrus seeds and pith are enclosed in a nylon bag and boiled along with the juice/pulp. This releases the natural pectin that is stored in that part of the orange. For time and ease, we eliminated that step and used store-bought fruit pectin. It worked very well.
  • ***To sterilize the canning jars, wash the containers in hot, soapy water and rinse. Boil them in a large pot for 10 minutes. Keep the jars in hot water until ready to use to prevent the jars from cracking. Dry with paper towels before filling with marmalade. Once filled, put on lids and collar. Boil again for 10 minutes to seal the jars.

Time 1h40m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large grapefruits
1 orange
1 lime
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
5 cups sugar
3 ounces liquid fruit pectin, such as Certo

Steps:

  • Remove peels from fruit and scrape off excess pith. Cut peels into fine strips.
  • In saucepan, combine peels, baking soda and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to boiling, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, remove white membrane from fruit and section, working over bowl to catch juices. Discard seeds.
  • In 8-10 quart Dutch oven, combine sections, juice and undrained peel. Cover and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Measure 3 cups cooked fruit mixture; add sugar and mix well.

  • Remove from heat, stir in liquid pectin and skim off foam with metal spoon. Stir and skim for 10 minutes.
  • Pour into hot, sterilized jars and seal.

Tips:

  • To ensure a successful marmalade, use a heavy-bottomed pot that will distribute heat evenly and prevent scorching.
  • Use a digital thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the marmalade. This will help you avoid overcooking or undercooking the marmalade.
  • Stir the marmalade frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Be patient! Marmalade takes time to cook, but the results are worth the wait.
