ABSOLUTELY FAIL-PROOF EASY MARMALADE
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.

CLASSIC SEVILLE ORANGE MARMALADE
Seville oranges are much stronger and more sour than ordinary eating oranges, but marmalade can be made from nearly any citrus fruit. The goal is a combination of tender strips of peel surrounded by a sweet-sour light gel. Marmalade recipes are notoriously fussy and complicated. I've streamlined and simplified the process. It does still take some time, but it's a little effort for a big reward!

Steps:
- Place a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet or line it with a clean towel. Set aside. Place several small plates in the freezer to use later to test the consistency of the marmalade.
- Halve and juice the oranges. You should have about 2 cups. Place the juice in a large pot. Using your fingers, remove the membranes and seeds from the hollowed shells and tie them up in a piece of cheesecloth. Add the cheesecloth filled with the membranes and seeds to the pot containing the juice.
- Cut the peel of the oranges into matchsticks. Put the strips of peel into the pot with the juice and the cheesecloth containing the membrane and seeds. Pour over 4 cups water, or enough water so that the water and juice cover the strips of peel (it will depend on the size of your pot). Bring to a boil and then simmer gently until the peels are soft and tender, 45 to 60 minutes.
- Allow to cool until the bag of membranes and seeds is cool enough to squeeze, about 20 minutes (be careful, it will be hot!). (You can also cover it and leave the marmalade to sit in the refrigerator overnight.) Once cooled, squeeze the pectin-packed cheesecloth until "dry." Discard. Add the sugar and salt and stir well until dissolved.
- Return the peels and liquid to the heat. Bring to a boil over high heat until the marmalade reaches the jelling point, 220 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes. The peels will be shiny and glass-like. (If you don't have a thermometer, you can also dribble a few drops of the marmalade on a frozen plate. If it crinkles when you run a finger through it and your finger leaves a clear line in the marmalade, it's ready. If not, check it every 5 minutes or so.)
- While the marmalade is cooking, place the canning rack in the canner and fill the pot with water; bring to a boil over high heat.
- Place 4 clean 1/2-pint jars (see Cook's Notes) on the prepared baking sheet. (This will help contain any dribbles or spills and prevent the jars from directly touching the metal.) For each jar, insert a canning funnel and carefully ladle in the marmalade, allowing at least 1/4 inch of headroom. Clean the rims of the jars with a clean, damp towel and tightly secure the lids.
- Using tongs, place the jars on the rack in the canner. The water should cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Cover the canner. Return the water to a boil and boil gently for 10 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the jars to a towel to cool. If the seal works and fits properly, the metal lid will be slightly concave within 24 hours of processing. Store the unopened jars of marmalade at room temperature for up to 1 year. Once the marmalade is opened, store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
SMALL-BATCH MANDARIN ORANGE (OR CLEMENTINE) MARMALADE
Not as intense as traditional marmalade. For a variation, add 1/4 c. chopped dried cranberries to it a few minutes before it reaches the gel stage. From "The Complete Book of Small-Batch Preservation". To test for gel, have a saucer or two in the freezer. Put a spoonful of the hot mixture on one plate, return the plate to the freezer for 2 minutes, then remove plate, tilt it, and make sue the mixture has gelled and does not run off the plate. The cooking pot should be removed from heat during the chill time so it does not overcook.

Steps:
- Remove peel from all fruit, being careful to remove only the colored part from the lemon, and slice the peel thinly, using scissors or a sharp knife. Place slivers in a small non-reactive pan with the water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
- Remove and discard white pithy rind and seeds from the lemon. Chop orange and lemon pulp finely in a food processor or with a sharp knife.Add to the saucepan, return to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.Add sugar to mixture, return to boil, and boil rapidly, uncovered, until mixture forms a gel, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
- Ladle into hot jars and process 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to make quick and easy marmalade. This method is especially helpful if you have a lot of citrus fruits to process.
- Choose citrus fruits that are ripe and free of blemishes. This will ensure the best flavor and quality in your marmalade.
- Remove the zest from the citrus fruits before processing them. This will help to create a more flavorful marmalade.
- Be sure to remove the seeds from the citrus fruits before processing them. This will help to prevent a bitter flavor.
- Add sugar to the marmalade mixture in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
- Bring the marmalade mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for the recommended amount of time, stirring occasionally.
- Test the marmalade for doneness by placing a small spoonful on a cold plate. If the marmalade wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is done.
- Remove the marmalade from the heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it into sterilized jars.
- Seal the jars tightly and process them in a boiling water bath for the recommended amount of time. This will help to ensure that the marmalade is safe to store.
Conclusion:
Making marmalade in a food processor is a quick and easy way to enjoy this delicious and versatile condiment. By following the tips and instructions in this recipe, you can make a delicious and flavorful marmalade that is perfect for spreading on toast, scones, or muffins.
